Trump Revealed

Authoritative, timely, and provocative, "likely the most complete and nuanced life of Donald Trump thus far" (The Boston Globe) provides a complex portrait of the man who-despite broad skepticism-could be the next president of the United States.

Who is Donald J. Trump? Despite decades of scrutiny, many aspects of his life are not well known. To discover Trump in full, The Washington Post assembled award-winning reporters and researchers to delve into every aspect of Trump's improbable life, from his privileged upbringing to his astonishing 2016 rise to the Republican candidacy. Written by Washington Post investigative political reporter Michael Kranish and senior editor Marc Fisher, this comprehensive book documents Trump's fascinating family roots, his aggressive efforts to make a name for himself in New York social circles, and his penchant for big bets-on real estate, branded businesses, and, ultimately, on himself.

"Useful, vigorously reported" (The New York Times), Trump Revealed explores how Trump's life has informed his bold statements on the economy, immigration, race, global trade, terrorism, and women. The authors scrutinize everything from his youthful alliance with the power broker Roy Cohn to his alleged dealings with organized crime and his controversial projects in New York City, Florida, Scotland, and Azerbaijan. They examine Trump's wealth, the evolution of his political beliefs, and his peculiar identity as a businessman, celebrity, global brand, television star, and now politician.

Trump Revealed offers the most thorough and wide-ranging examination of Donald Trump's public and private lives to date.
