Craig Unger: American Kompromat (2022, Penguin Publishing Group)
English language
Published April 22, 2022 by Penguin Publishing Group.
Unger comes up with a lot of intriguing stuff about Russians in New York during the Cold War, but there's a lot of build up in this book and then ... no solid conclusions.
I know a LOT about MAGA world. I was really excited when this book came out and it's OK as a spy novel, but as a review of history there are way too many instances where Unger does some hand waving to connect things that, if true, would be truly explosive. There are a dozen books on my shelf related to the Trump years, taking the time to read this one left me filled with regret.
