Dark Towers is a devastating tale of a big bank gone bad. ...
Enrich draws the reader in by focusing on the people in his story,
displaying an Arthur-Miller-like eye for the worn-down Willy Lomans
of today's Wall Street. --Financial Times
"A deep-reaching look at the inner workings of Deutsche Bank,
Donald Trump's lender of choice." --Kirkus Reviews
"A jaw-dropping financial thriller." --Philadelphia Inquirer
"Riveting. ... A cracking read. ... Devastatingly accurate. ...
This is an important book because it reveals how one bank, with
questionable business practices to put it mildly, made it possible
for Trump to bounce back from multiple bankruptcies, cast himself
as a business visionary, and eventually run for president and win."
--Sunday Times (London)
A revelatory book about the rise and fall of the world's biggest
bank. ... Has all the elements of a page-turning mystery
novel--Washington Post
Enrich compellingly shows how unchecked ambition twisted a pillar
of German finance into a reckless casino where amorality and
criminality thrived.--New York Times Book Review (Editor's
Choice)
In this masterful account of a bank gone bad, David Enrich turns
financial journalism into gripping, page-turning crime reporting.
Tracking the sordid history of Deutsche Bank--from financing robber
barons, Nazis, and rogue states to laundering Russian money to
underwriting Donald Trump to threatening global economic security
-- Enrich deftly delivers a compelling narrative that intertwines
harrowing institutional corruption and engaging personal tales.
It's a wild ride and a great read.--David Corn, co-author, Russian
Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the
Election of Donald Trump
Part expose, part mystery, Enrich's account is important because it
illuminates Deutsche Bank's excesses and Trump's business
practices. Readers of Andrew Sorkin's Too Big To Fail, which
unveiled vulnerabilities in the financial industry, will find
Enrich's more focused account equally compelling.--Library Journal
(starred review)
"New York Times finance editor Enrich's immersion in this shadowy
world of monetary malfeasance shows how the disreputable world of
big-stakes banking could topple an equally unscrupulous
president."--Booklist
"Propulsive, richly detailed...Enrich writes with verve...This
journalistic tour de force hints that plenty of shocking secrets
are yet to be revealed."--Publishers Weekly
"In this case, 'epic' is right - Dark Towers is a mystery, a
thriller, a father-son drama. Did I mention Donald Trump? It's a
distinctly American drama of greed, hubris and power that kept me
racing to the finish."--James B. Stewart, Pulitzer Prize winner and
bestselling author of Den of Thieves and Deep State
"In Dark Towers, David Enrich tells the story of how one of the
world's mightiest banks careened off the rails, threatening
everything from our financial system to our democracy through its
reckless entanglement with Donald Trump. Darkly fascinating and yet
all too real, it's a tale that will keep you up at night."--John
Carreyrou, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling
author of Bad Blood
