(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"American Kompromat tells the story of the unimaginably corrupt, dissolute, and decadent subculture of the most powerful people in the world and how they have orchestrated, obtained, and used kompromat--Russian for compromising information--as leverage to achieve their political goals"--,Provided by publisher.

A relatively insignificant targeting operation by the KGB’s New York rezidentura (New York Station) more than forty years ago triggered a sequence of intelligence protocols that morphed into the greatest intelligence bonanza in history. Unger shows how it eventually reached all the way into the office of the Attorney General. From Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, kompromat operations documented the darkest secrets of the most powerful people in the world and transformed them into potent weapons. How compromised was Trump? To answer the question, one must understand kompromat-- operations that amassed compromising information on the richest and most powerful men on earth, and leveraged power by appealing to what is for some the most prized possession of all: their vanity. -- adapted from jacket
