Description

A multigenerational saga of two families who rose from immigrant roots to the pinnacle of US power that tracks the unraveling of American democracy.

In American Oligarchs, award-winning investigative journalist Andrea Bernstein creates a vivid portrait of two emblematic American families. Their journey to the White House is a story of survival and loss, crime and betrayal, which stretches from the Gilded Age through Nazi-occupied Poland to the rising nationalism and inequality of the 21st century.

Drawing on hundreds of interviews and over 100,000 pages of documents, many previously unseen or long forgotten, Bernstein traces how the families grew rich on federal programs that bolstered the middle class, and then sheltered their wealth from tax collectors. Wielding half-truths, secrecy, and media manipulation, they blurred the lines between public and private interests, then leveraged political, prosecutorial, and judicial power to avoid legal consequences. At once intimate and sweeping, American Oligarchs reveals how these dynasties encouraged and profited from a system of political dark money that has pushed America to the precipice of oligarchy.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Anyone concerned about American democracy should read Andrea Bernstein’s devastating exposé of the Trump and Kushner families. With meticulous precision, she documents the pernicious effects of dynastic wealth and power, now threatening to turn the highest rungs of the US government into a corrupt oligarchy." (Jane Mayer, The New Yorker staff writer and New York Times best-selling author of Dark Money)

"A rich and highly readable compendium...Bernstein is an intrepid reporter." (William Cohan, New York Times Book Review)

"By building American Oligarchs around the Kushner and Trump family narratives, Bernstein offers readers a fresh perspective.... Readers who follow the news more casually will also find the epic family tales a compelling way to understand the myriad deals and ambitions that define the Kushners and Trumps." (David Kocieniewski, Bloomberg.com)

I love when an investigative journalist brings receipts

A thorough and very well researched piece on the Kushner and Trump family. This is night and day to some of these so called ‘investigative’ books that some on the right claim are fact based. Everything in this book has been researched and backed up by multiple sources. No hearsay or ‘the documents have been hidden’ excuses. This is what real investigative journalism is. Makes a great companion piece to Dark Money by Jane Meyer.

A Good Book with a lot of infomation

I have become a suck of reading all these books about Trump & The Trump Organized Crime Family! TRUMP & COMPANY IS THE “OG“ OF WHITE COLLER CRIME!

Once he leaves as being POTUS I do believe RICO is going to be a major Problem for him, his family & Russians and maybe even Moscow Mitch!

I am so exhausted with everything TRUMP!
