of
Dragon on Centre Street: New York vs. Donald J. Trump:
"Super compelling first-hand retelling of Trump’s New York trials that reads like a dishy play-by-play. The courtroom and the major players loom large, but the story has tons of micro and macro details that help ground and contextualize the whole thin"
