Trump: The Greatest Show On Earth by Wayne Barrett
Barrett's classic book is back in print and with an introduction about Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Barrett reveals the truth behind the mogul's wheelings and dealings. Instead of the canny businessman that Trump claims in his own books, Barrett explores how Trump exploited his father s connections to finance and grease his first major deals. Barrett's biography takes us from the days of Donald's youth to his brash entry into the real estate market, and to the back room deals behind his New York, Atlantic City and Florida projects. Barrett paints an intimate portrait of Trump himself.
Wayne Barrett (1945-2017) was a celebrated investigative journalist. He spent much of his 40-year reporting career at the Village Voice, where he became, in the words of the Washington Post, dreaded if not loathed by public officials for his relentless exposure of such major political figures as Ed Koch, Rudy Giuliani, and Donald Trump. After his departure from the Village Voice, he became a fellow at Type Media Center, then known as The Nation Institute. He is the author of four books, including Trump: The Greatest Show on Earth (1992) and Rudy: An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani (2000). Eileen Markey is an assistant professor of journalism at Lehman College of the City University of New York and a veteran NYC policy reporter who learned the power of facts and the joy of digging for them from Village Voice muckraker Wayne Barrett. She has written for, among others, The Daily Beast, The New Republic, The New York Times, City Limits, The Daily News, New York Magazine, WNYC New York Public Radio, The Wall Street Journal and The Village Voice. She's lectured widely on the role of religion in radical social movements. Markey is increasingly interested in archives and the role of public memory in shaping allegiances.
