"Once Donald Trump's fiercest surrogate, closest confidant, and staunchest defender, Michael Cohen knows where the skeletons are buried. This is the most devastating business and political horror story of the century. As Trump's lawyer and "fixer," Cohen not only witnessed firsthand but was also an active participant in the inner workings of Trump's business empire, political campaign, and presidential administration. This is a story that you have not read in newspapers, or on social media, or watched on television. These are accounts that only someone who worked for Trump around the clock for over a decade--not a few months or even a couple of years--could know. Cohen describes Trump's racist rants against President Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, and Black and Hispanic people in general, as well as the cruelty, humiliation, and abuse he leveled at family and staff. Whether he's exposing the fact that Trump engaged in tax fraud by inflating his wealth or electronic fraud by rigging an online survey, or outing Trump's Neanderthal views towards women or his hush-money payments to clandestine lovers, Cohen pulls no punches. He shows Trump's relentless willingness to lie, exaggerate, mislead, or manipulate. Trump emerges as a man without a soul--a man who courts evangelicals and then trashes them, panders to the common man, but then rips off small business owners, a con man who will do or say absolutely anything to win, regardless of the cost to his family, his associates, or his country. At the heart of Disloyal, we see how Cohen came under the spell of his charismatic "Boss" and, as a result, lost all sense of his moral compass. The real "real" Donald Trump who permeates these pages--the racist, sexist, homophobic, lying, cheating President--will be discussed, written about, and analyzed for years to come" -- Book jacket flap.… (altro)

It's in very plain easy to understand language. The author does his best to describe his feelings and perspective as he speaks about the protagonist that sent his life into a downward spiral. I believe this book was written to explain why and how the author did what he did. More importantly, however, I believe the most important take away is the warning that Mr. Cohen is trying to give his readers. This book is a good read and I highly recommend it. ( )

If you had any doubt that Trump is a liar, a con man, a sexual predator, a tax cheat, a charlatan and crook, read this book. Mr Cohen was there from the beginning and knows where and how the bodies were buried and he tells all. He doesn't sugar coat anything and lays it all out there for America and the world to read. Many, many, many times words and phrases that he associates to Trump can be heard every time he speaks in public. Words such as losers, suckers and more. America has been and continues to be deciwvwd by the single worst POTUS in our history and the single most unqualified human being to ever occupy the office of the presidency. ( )

Disloyal is very well-written and informative. Michael Cohen has absolutely bared his soul in this tell-all-memoir, including his own participation in lying and covering for his boss's despicable manipulation of the American people. I found the author's life story growing up in Manhattan fascinating. After watching the news and reading several other books on the subject, I wasn't surprised by Cohen's description of Trump's bad behavior. Still, I was mortified by some of DJT's racist behavior toward former President Obama, who is generally considered one of the most respected Presidents of all time. Disloyal is a must-read for those who like to be informed, no matter where your loyalties lie. ( )

Disconcertingly insightful and a Terrifying recounting of Past and Potential Future Events

It is hard not to feel for Michael Cohen despite his admitted complicity in the rise of Donald J. Trump's reign of terror.

As many of the facts covered in Disloyal have come to light, the importance of this book lies in the insight Cohen is able to clearly state regarding the clear and present danger Trump represents to the continuation of American Democracy.

Through his own self examination, Cohen is able to put his finger on the very traits that mesmerize, confuse and engender undeserved loyalty from Trump supporters.

It is sickly fascinating reading to watch both Cohen's and America's seduction by this absolutely amoral sociopath. In hindsight, it is difficult to comprehend how such a corrupt person could become so powerful, so quickly.

Cohen states it well when he says he became a willing victim of the Stockholm Syndrome. What is the excuse for the rest of the country? And what will happen when Trump refuses to leave office as Cohen so vehemently insists will happen? ( )

I didn’t learn anything new about Trump
and his shenanigans from this book. Cohen was a willing participant and knew exactly what he was doing throughout his Trump lackey career. He comes off as a greedy, self-absorbed creep who carelessy put his family through a great deal of pain. Cohen also blames the SDNY for his conviction and fails to show true remorse for his crimes. He is a common crook. Quick read and was entertaining, though. ( )

I dedicate this book to the love of my life, my wife Laura, and to my wonderful children, Samantha and Jake. The three of you endured so much during my years with Donald Trump and in the years since then. You have been subjected to harassment, insults and threats; you have seen me get arrested and charged and put in prison (twice). But the deepest suffering must have come as you watched me play an active role in the despicable acts of Mr. Trump. For this, I am deeply sorry. I feel unimaginably grateful that the three of you stuck by me through it all. My greatest desire in life is to do whatever I can to make up for the pain I have caused you and to bring happiness, pride, and a feeling of safety to the rest of your lives.

Because here's the thing: When you sell your soul, you do exactly that: sell your soul.
If Trump claimed you cheated or lied or stole, you could be sure that he'd done those things himself; it was almost as if he had a compulsion to confess to his terrible actions by way of accusation.
