House of Trump, House of Putin: The Untold Story of Donald Trump and the Russian Mafia

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

â€œThe story Unger weaves with those earlier accounts and his original reporting is fresh, illuminating and more alarming than the intelligence channel described in the Steele dossier.â€â€”TheÂ Washington Post

House of Trump, House of Putin offers the first comprehensive investigation into the decades-long relationship among Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Russian Mafia that ultimately helped win Trump the White House.

It is a chilling story that begins in the 1970s, when Trump made his first splash in the booming, money-drenched world of New York real estate, and ends with Trumpâ€™s inauguration as president of the United States. That moment was the culmination of Vladimir Putinâ€™s long mission to undermine Western democracy, a mission that he and his hand-selected group of oligarchs and Mafia kingpins had ensnared Trump in, starting more than twenty years ago with the massive bailout of a string of sensational Trump hotel and casino failures in Atlantic City. This book confirms the most incredible American paranoias about Russian malevolence.

To most, it will be a hair-raising revelation that the Cold War did not end in 1991â€”that it merely evolved, with Trumpâ€™s apartments offering the perfect vehicle for billions of dollars to leave the collapsing Soviet Union. In House of Trump, House of Putin, Craig Unger methodically traces the deep-rooted alliance between the highest echelons of American political operatives and the biggest players in the frightening underworld of the Russian Mafia. He traces Donald Trumpâ€™s sordid ascent from foundering real estate tycoon to leader of the free world. He traces Russiaâ€™s phoenix like rise from the ashes of the postâ€“Cold War Soviet Union as well as its ceaseless covert efforts to retaliate against the West and reclaim its status as a global superpower.

Without Trump, Russia would have lacked a key component in its attempts to return to imperial greatness. Without Russia, Trump would not be president. This essential book is crucial to understanding the real powers at play in the shadows of todayâ€™s world. The appearance of key figures in this bookâ€”Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, and Felix Sater to name a fewâ€”ring with haunting significance in the wake of Robert Muellerâ€™s report and as others continue to close in on the truth.
