Craig Unger Presents His New Book: American Kompromat

Globus Books is honored to present Craig Unger is in conversation with authors and journalists Zarina Zabrisky and Greg Olear and his new New York Times bestseller AMERICAN KOMPROMAT: How the KGB Cultivated Donald Trump, and Related Tales of Sex, Greed, Power, and Treachery (Dutton). AMERICAN KOMPROMAT is based on extended and exclusive interviews with high-level sources in the KGB, CIA and FBI, as well as lawyers at white-shoe Washington firms, associates of Jeffrey Epstein, and thousands of pages of FBI reports, police investigations, and news articles in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. A narrative offering jaw-dropping context, and set in Upper East Side mansions and private Caribbean islands, gigantic yachts and private jets, AMERICAN KOMPROMAT shows that from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, Russian kompromat operations documented the darkest secrets of the most powerful people in the world and transformed those secrets into potent weapons. Among its many revelations, AMERICAN KOMPROMAT addresses what may be the single most important unanswered question of the entire Trump era – and one that Unger argues is even more important now that Trump is out of office: Is Donald Trump a Russian asset? In his critically-acclaimed expose, House of Trump, House of Putin (called “illuminating and more alarming than the intelligence channel described in the Steele dossier” by the Washington Post), Craig Unger followed the money to show how operatives tied to the Russian Mafia successfully used Trump real estate to launder untold millions. In AMERICAN KOMPROMAT, Unger goes further, unraveling the Russian-influenced operations that amassed the dirty little secrets of the richest and most powerful men on earth, with new revelations about Donald J. Trump, William Barr, Jeffrey Epstein, and more. It’s a story that transcends the end of the Trump administration, illuminating a major underreported aspect of Trump’s corruption that has profoundly damaged American democracy.
