Resumen del Editor
Where Trump learned to rule.
To know Donald J. Trump - to understand what makes the 45th president of the US tick - it is best to start in his natural habitat: Palm Beach, Florida. It is here he learned the techniques that took him all the way to the White House. Painstakingly, over decades, he has created a world in this exclusive tropical enclave and favorite haunt of billionaires where he is not just president but a king. The vehicle for his triumph is Mar-a-Lago, one of the greatest mansions ever built in the US. The inside story of how he became king of Palm Beach - and how Palm Beach continues to be his spiritual home even as president - is rollicking, troubling, and told with unrivaled access and understanding by Laurence Leamer.
Never before has an American president overseen a club where access to him can be bought. In Mar-a-Lago, the listener will learn:
- How Donald Trump bought a property now valued by some at as much as $500 million for less than $300,000 of his own money.
- Why Trump was blackballed by the WASP grandees of the island and how he got his revenge.
- How Trump joined forces with the National Enquirer, headquartered nearby, and engineered his own divorce.
- How by turning Mar-a-Lago into a private club, Trump was the unlikely man to integrate Palm Beach’s restricted country club scene, and what his real motives were.
- What transpires behind the gates of today’s Mar-a-Lago during “the season”, when President Trump and assorted DC power players fly down each weekend.
In addition to copious interviews and reporting from inside Mar-a-Lago, Laurence Leamer brings an acute and unparalleled understanding of the society of Palm Beach, where he has lived for 25 years. He has delivered an essential audiobook for understanding Donald Trump’s inner character in the place where he can most be himself.

Historia
How did the Wendels, one of New York’s most famous Gilded Age families, disappear from history? The Wendels built a fortune from New York real estate, and rubbed shoulders with the Astors, Vanderbilts, and Stuyvesants. But as the 19th century came to an end, the Wendel family tore itself apart. Following six years of painstaking archival research, Claire Prentice has prised open the door of the Wendels’ Fifth Avenue mansion—dubbed “the house of mystery” by the press—to reveal a fascinating and dysfunctional family imprisoned in a gilded cage.

Historia
From 1783, when German immigrant John Jacob Astor first arrived in the United States, until 2009, when Brooke Astor’s son, Anthony Marshall, was convicted of defrauding his elderly mother, the Astor name occupied a unique place in American society. The family fortune, first made by a beaver trapping business that grew into an empire, was then amplified by holdings in Manhattan real estate. Over the ensuing generations, Astors ruled Gilded Age New York society and inserted themselves into political and cultural life, but also suffered the most famous loss on the Titanic.

Historia
Alfred Hitchcock was fixated—not just on the dark, twisty stories that became his hallmark, but also by the blond actresses who starred in many of his iconic movies. The director of North by Northwest, Rear Window, and other classic films didn’t much care if they wore wigs, got their hair coloring out of a bottle, or were the rarest human specimen—a natural blonde—as long as they shone with a golden veneer on camera. The lengths he went to in order to showcase (and often manipulate) these women would become the stuff of movie legend.

Everyone had something to say about the scorching scandal afflicting one of the most rich and famous families of New York City, but no one was more obsessed with the tale than Truman Capote.

Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, is synonymous with the Kennedy family. It is where, for a hundred years, America’s most storied political family has come to celebrate, bond, play, and grieve. It is also the setting of so many events we remember: JFK giving his presidential acceptance speech, Jackie speaking with a Life magazine reporter just days after her husband’s assassination, Senator Edward Kennedy seeking refuge after the Chappaquiddick crash, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger tying the knot—and even Conor Kennedy courting pop star Taylor Swift.

Since 1929, Hollywood’s brightest stars have flocked to the Chateau Marmont as if it were a second home. An apartment building-turned-hotel, the Chateau has been the backdrop for generations of gossip and folklore: where director Nicholas Ray slept with his 16-year-old Rebel Without a Cause star Natalie Wood; Jim Morrison swung from the balconies; John Belushi suffered a fatal overdose; and Lindsay Lohan got the boot after racking up nearly $50,000 in charges in less than two months. Much of what has happened inside the Chateau’s walls has eluded the public eye - until now.

Yet all too often those gilded lives have been beset with trauma and despair. Before the 20th century a wife’s inheritance was the property of her husband, making her vulnerable to kidnap, forced marriages, even confinement in an asylum.

Historia
Sumner Murray Redstone, once feared as the “mad genius” of media who would dump his CEOs for mere wobbles in his companies’ stock price, had built one of the world’s greatest media empires through a series of audacious takeovers constructed to ensure that he always maintained control. Today he controls 80 percent of the voting shares of both Viacom and CBS, meaning that on a whim he could replace the entire boards of two public companies with a combined value of $40 billion.

Historia
Ever since Donald Trump entered the presidential race - in a press conference attended by paid actors, in which he slandered Mexican immigrants - he has dominated headlines, becoming the unrestrained id at the center of one of the most bizarre and alarming elections in American history. It was not always so. In 1996, longtime New Yorker writer Mark Singer was conscripted by his editor to profile Donald Trump. At that time Trump was a mere Manhattan-centric megalomaniac, a failing casino operator mired in his second divorce.

This engrossing, vivid narrative captures the Busch saga through five generations. At the same time, it weaves a broader story of American progress and decline over the past 150 years. It's a cautionary tale of prosperity, hubris, and loss.

Rudy Giuliani was hailed after 9/11 as “America’s Mayor,” a national hero who, at the time, was more widely admired than the pope. He was brilliant, accomplished—and complicated. He conflated politics with morality, made reckless personal choices, and engaged in self-destructive behavior. A series of disastrous decisions and cynical compromises, coupled with his need for power, money, and attention gradually ruined his reputation, cost him political support, and ultimately damaged the country.

Alfred Hitchcock was fixated—not just on the dark, twisty stories that became his hallmark, but also by the blond actresses who starred in many of his iconic movies. The director of North by Northwest, Rear Window, and other classic films didn’t much care if they wore wigs, got their hair coloring out of a bottle, or were the rarest human specimen—a natural blonde—as long as they shone with a golden veneer on camera. The lengths he went to in order to showcase (and often manipulate) these women would become the stuff of movie legend.

In this outstanding continuation of The Kennedy Men, his powerful American epic of the Kennedy family, Laurence Leamer chronicles the lives of the Kennedy sons and grandsons after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and their struggle to fulfill the family legacy. These lives make for a book of overwhelming drama full of exalted aspirations, notable achievements, and the most spectacular mishaps, excesses, and tragedies. For the most part, these Kennedy men fell far short of the great vision that Joseph P. Kennedy had for his sons and grandsons.

No surprises but would have liked more
This book simply confirmed what we have all seen from Trump in the White House and through his publicity stunts in the preceding years - to name a few: his "birther controversy," his Access Hollywood debacle, his many infidelities/indiscretions through 3 marriages, and all the other scandals that should make a politician blush. It appeared to be well researched and factual. I would have liked more insight into Melania (she remains an aloof shadow even in this book, so I wonder what life with Trump must really be like - and how has she managed when her two predecessors failed so miserably? Maybe she is making her own book deal? There were some fairly shady deals that seemed substantiated and could possibly explain his "leadership" style, but there was not an overt connection between his invasion of Palm Beach and his invasion of Washington, DC. This book attempted to explain his appeal to his base and who that base might be. Overall, this is one of the better Trump books to come out up to this point. Just got my copy of Andrew McCabe's new book, so, hopefully, new information will make this book even more credible. The case of Trump just continues to be "curiouser and curiouser!"

Interesting Account of Mar A Lago and Palm Beach
As someone immersed in all facets of Real Estate (I flipped my first (small one room) building when I was eight years old) - The purchase of the Mar A Lago estate and its refurbishing was very interesting. Although I am not a political groupie and politicians are socially revolting to me, I gained respect for Trump and how he took honest responsibility for restoring and improving such a parcel of Real Estate and converting it from a liability to a highly beneficial structure place for that community. People all over the world make, break and fold on Real Estate ventures every day all day. Reading about the history of Palm Beach, its culture and structures were fascinating for me. At times, hilarious. This narration was excellent. I did find that Googling people and places in between chapters to find people and buildings was very helpful. The most revolting figure, a gossip columnist. I even searched her Twitter to discover her taking a swipe at a newborn two days old. Yes, the author had been generous in his description of her. Finished reading the book with gratitude that someone in that community, is able to pop out of the herd and relay an account of the social intercourse there, that makes the rest of us grateful to be where are and who we are. A hundred years from now people can read this book and still find an interesting story within, it is a classic.

Informative but written by a liberal
Like so much in politics today the author’s reality may not be yours
The author sounded like a liberal so I found myself listening for accuracy as well as facts.
Basically he repeats palm beach gossip-No one likes Trump, yet somehow the club is always busy.
If you can ignore the leftist slant and petty criticisms the book is interesting. The author paints Trump as shallow but I wonder if what is shallow is really the story.
