“This boastful, boyishly disarming, thoroughly engaging personal history offers an inside look at aspects of financing, development and construction in big-time New York real estate. “I don’t do it for the money,” maintains Trump, the son of a Queens realtor who, at age 27, bought and transfigured the colossal Hotel Commodore at Grand Central Terminal.”

“Trump, who believes that excess can be a virtue, is as American as Manhattan’s skyline,” wrote George Will in the 1980’s. Regardless of whether you think Donald Trump as a symbol of American success, or you think he’s an annoying, chest-pounding egomaniac with bad hair, this book will show you what it took for him to build up his empire. The book shows Trump doing what he does best — boldly making big deals — during the “greed is good” decade of the 1980’s. I found it interesting to see how much of his current empire he had built up before his 40th birthday, and to understand how he pulled off various deals.
– Christopher Hefele (Lawrenceville, NJ United States)

“This is a must read for anyone in the real estate industry or those intending to enter the industry. Donald Trump tells how he did it - about himself, his deals, his money, the people he dealt with, his women… He tells you how the real estate industry really works and about the city he loves - New York. The stories of his deal-making strategies are absolutely captivating. I also recommend reading The Art of the Comeback.”
