'A bombshell.' Daily Mail 'Damning, terrifying and enraging.' The Spectator 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 Trump's inauguration as president of the United States. That moment was the culmination of Vladimir Putin's long mission to undermine Western democracy, a mission that he and his hand-selected group of oligarchs and associates 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 1991--that it merely evolved, with Trump'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 Trump's sordid ascent from foundering real estate tycoon to leader of the free world. He traces Russia's phoenixlike rise from the ashes of the post-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 today's world.

一枚重磅炸弹。每日邮报》 "令人震惊，令人恐惧，令人气愤。The Spectator House of Trump, House of Putin首次全面调查了唐纳德-特朗普、弗拉基米尔-普京和俄罗斯黑手党之间长达几十年的关系，这种关系最终帮助特朗普赢得了白宫。这是一个令人不寒而栗的故事，开始于20世纪70年代，当时特朗普在繁荣的、充满金钱的纽约房地产世界中首次崭露头角，并以特朗普作为美国总统的就职典礼结束。那一刻是弗拉基米尔-普京破坏西方民主的长期使命的高潮，他和他亲手挑选的一群寡头和同伙将特朗普卷入其中，从20多年前对大西洋城一连串轰动一时的特朗普酒店和赌场的失败进行大规模救助开始。这本书证实了美国人对俄罗斯恶意的最不可思议的妄想。对大多数人来说，这将是一个令人毛骨悚然的启示，即冷战并没有在1991年结束--它只是在演变，特朗普的公寓为数十亿美元离开崩溃的苏联提供了完美的工具。在《特朗普之家，普京之家》中，克雷格-昂格尔有条不紊地追踪了美国最高层政治活动家与俄罗斯黑手党这个可怕的黑社会中的最大参与者之间根深蒂固的联盟。他追溯了唐纳德-特朗普从初出茅庐的房地产大亨到自由世界领袖的肮脏的上升过程。他追踪了俄罗斯从冷战后苏联的灰烬中凤凰涅槃的过程，以及它为报复西方和恢复其全球超级大国地位所做的不懈的秘密努力。没有特朗普，俄罗斯在试图恢复帝国的伟大时就会缺少一个关键的组成部分。没有俄罗斯，特朗普就不会成为总统。这本必不可少的书对于了解在当今世界的阴影下发挥作用的真正力量至关重要。
