House of Trump, house of Putin : the untold story of Donald Trump and the Russian mafia / Craig Unger.

Summary:

The Cold War did not end in 1991, it merely evolved, with Putin and his hand-selected group of oligarchs and Mafia kingpins ensnaring Trump more than twenty years ago with the massive bailout of a string of sensational Trump hotel and casino failures in Atlantic City. 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. Without Russia, Trump would not be president. -- adapted from jacket
