Publisher's Summary
Barbara A. Res worked directly with Donald Trump for 18 years on some of his biggest projects and had nearly unlimited access to him. Trump selected Res to be in charge of construction of Trump Tower, his greatest success as a developer. In this insider’s look at how the ambitious real estate developer became the most divisive president in recent US history, Res takes us into closed-door meetings, boardrooms, limo rides, and helicopter flights to really understand what makes him tick and show us why his claim to be a great dealmaker and savvy businessman is just a mirage.
No one with this kind of access to Trump during his formative years as a developer has ever written so completely about who he is away from the cameras. It’s no wonder that when the media are looking for someone who really understands Trump, they turn to Res. Candid, personal, and deeply perceptive, Res shines new light on the man whose depravity has put us all - and democracy itself - in danger.

Story
Alexei Navalny began writing Patriot shortly after his near-fatal poisoning in 2020. It is the full story of his life: his youth, his call to activism, his marriage and family, his commitment to challenging a world super-power determined to silence him, and his total conviction that change cannot be resisted—and will come. Patriot is Navalny’s final letter to the world: a moving account of his last years spent in the most brutal prison on earth; a reminder of why the principles of individual freedom matter so deeply; and a rousing call to continue the work for which he sacrificed his life.

Story
Packed with new reporting, Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party tracks Trump’s improbable journey from disgraced and defeated former president to the dominant force, yet again, in the Republican Party. From his exile in Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump has become more extreme, vengeful, and divorced from reality than he was on January 6, 2021. His meddling damaged the GOP’s electoral prospects for third consecutive election in 2022. His legal troubles are mounting. Yet he re-emerged as the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

In Find Me the Votes, two years of immersive reporting by Isikoff and Klaidman has produced the most authoritative and dramatic account yet of a defeated president’s conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election and how a local Georgia prosecutor—a daughter of the civil rights movement—decided to indict him and his allies for his desperate attempt to hold on to power. From the beginning, Fani Willis saw Donald Trump’s crimes as a voting rights case, and an attempt by the former president to deprive the citizens of Georgia of the franchise, a right for which her forebears had bled.

Story
Donald Trump will be president again, whether he is on the ballot or not. That is because Trumpism is overtaking the Republican Party and will mount a vigorous comeback, potentially in the hands of a savvier successor. This prophecy will come true, according to Miles Taylor, if we do not learn the lessons of the recent past. With the 2024 election approaching, the formerly “Anonymous” official is back with bombshell revelations and a sobering national forecast. Taylor predicts what could happen inside “Trump 2.0,” the White House of a more competent and more formidable copycat.

Less than 40 minutes after taking the oath of office, Trump began turning the White House into a money machine for himself, his family, and his courtiers. The Big Cheat offers a guided tour of how money flowed in and out of Trump’s hundreds of enterprises, showing in simple terms how a corrupt president used our government for his benefit, even putting national security at risk.

Simple and Spot on Confirmation of DJT!!
I'm writing this review one week after the insurgent activity at the US Capital and one week before Biden's inauguration. I live in Canada and been witness to absolute disaster that my friends and loved ones had to deal with for the past four plus years. While there is light at the end of tunnel, the US and the rest of us, 45 has left a mess for us all to clean up.
I have focused my post-Trump detox on mainly two books, this book and Dr. Mary Trump's Too Much and Never Enough. Both of these titles give two completely different perspectives on Trump but both illustrate that DJT was not suited in any way to be president.
This book shows that the way he ran both his company and the nation was nothing less that deplorable.
Thank you Barbara for being able to articulate what a lot of people on the planet have believed for quite a while

This book timelines his madness very well.Narrator is excellent as well.I have read most of the new releases on the subject of Trump and his incompetence and I found this book to be very revealing. Great respect to the author for this read.

Very well written and impossible to turn off!
This audiobook is a great listen. The author talks about the Trump she first met and gives example after example of his ascension into a world of chaos, lies & deceit. Make sure to start it on a weekend because you will not want to stop listening. The narrator is great too. Fascinating !!

I couldn’t turn it off
The author does an outstanding job of depicting Trump as a human which is important in understanding the full scope of his malignancy. She doesn’t demonize him but rather let’s his own words and actions speak for themselves. As contemptuous as I am of him, I don’t feel that it serves anyone to demonize him as that would make it easy to write off as an anomaly rather than a very dark side of humanity which, sadly, clearly exists in many many people. Social media has given them an unrestrained platform on which to spread their lies and complete fabrications much to the chagrin and detriment to democracy and society as a whole. Thank you to the author for bravely sharing her experiences and insights.
