Book
Ringmaster : Vince McMahon and the unmaking of America / Abraham Riesman.
Featuring never-before-seen research and exclusive interviews with people who witnessed, aided, and suffered from his ascent, this unauthorized investigative chronicle of the media mogul, defining cultural force, and one of Donald Trump's closest friends uses his story as a new lens for understanding contemporary America.
In his four decades as the defining figure of American pro wrestling, Vince McMahon was the man behind the megastars. He was also a performer in his own show, acting as the diabolical "Mr. McMahon"-- a figure you may have more in common with the real Vince than he would care to admit. Just as important, McMahon is one of Donald Trump's closest friends; McMahon and his wife, Linda, are major Republican donors, and Linda served in Trump's cabinet. Riesman provides an investigative chronicle of McMahon's origins and rise to power. The result is a new lens for understanding the contemporary American apocalypse. -- adapted from jacket
