A New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and Wall Street Journal bestseller

The man the New York State Attorney General credited with inspiring her prosecution of Donald Trump -- New York Times #1 bestselling author Michael Cohen -- tells the behind-the-scenes story of what can happen to you -- and what really happened to him -- when a President who believes himself to be above the law decides to go after his critics . . . .

"Michael Cohen illustrates that it is never too late to become a truth-teller. He is a parrhessiastes int he true Greek sense of the word — willing to speak truth to power, despite the risk of retaliation by those who would like to see him silenced." - Asha Rangappa, Senior Lecturer at the Yale University’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs

"Michael Cohen exposed Trump's crimes. He testified about them to Congress. He brought receipts, revealing to the American people the campaign finance crimes he committed with, for the benefit of, and at the direction of "Individual #1" — Donald Trump. And Michael paid the price. Yet NO accountability for Trump? This is not how America is supposed to work." - Glenn Kirschner, former Federal prosecutor, and an NBC News/MSNBC legal analyst

"Many people think that they can 'speak truth to power,' but no one does it quite like Michael Cohen. Despite being prosecuted and persecuted, Michael fought back and his latest book exposes in vivid detail how Donald Trump tried to weaponize the biggest law firm in the world, the Department of Justice, to cater to his whims." - Katie Phang, host of MSNBC's "Katie Phang Show"

"Michael Cohen has become the brutal truth-teller we desperately need at a crucial moment of deceit, lies and conspiracy theories by a former president driven by Revenge. Michael’s story should stand as chilling testimony and as a stark warning of what a vengeful Trump is capable of if he were ever allowed near the Oval Office again." - Maria Cardona, Democratic strategist and CNN/CNN en Español political commentator

When Michael Cohen's secret payoff to porn star Stormy Daniels on behalf of Donald Trump made Cohen look like a liability to the by-then-President of the United States, the end to their decade-long relationship came swiftly -- with a knock on the door from the FBI. Soon, Cohen would find himself imprisoned -- even though he had plenty of evidence to show he was innocent of most of the charges.

Meanwhile, with the release of the Steele Dossier, Cohen also found himself battling endless news reports citing the Dossier's claims that he'd had clandestine dealings with Russia -- reports that only mounted despite his exoneration by the Mueller Report.

In a story now being echoed in recent breaking news stories about IRS persecution of Trump foes such as former FBI head James Comey and others, Cohen details -- in his inimitable blunt language, with absolutely no holds barred and naming names -- his attempt to clear his name and tell the truth about Donald Trump. Chillingly, he also makes clear what happens when you try to speak truth to power, and the power knows no bounds.
