Dark towers : Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump, and an epic trail of destruction / David Enrich.

Summary:

"A searing exposé by an award-winning journalist of the most scandalous bank in the world, including its shadowy ties to Donald Trump's business empire"-- Provided by publisher.
In 2014 the death of Bill Broeksmith, a senior executive at Deutsche Bank was a mystery, made more so by the bank's efforts to deter investigation. Enrich traces bank's history back to the 1880s; to helping the Nazis build Auschwitz, and wooing Eastern Bloc authoritarians. He shows how in the 1990s Deutsche made a decision to pursue Wall Street riches, often at the expense of ethics and the law: scamming investors, defrauding regulators, and laundering money for Russian oligarchs. Deutsche also started doing business with a self-promoting real estate magnate nearly every other bank in the world deemed too dangerous to touch: Donald Trump. -- adapted from jacket
