Why it’s on the listPart memoir, part business manual, ghostwritten by Tony Schwartz from Donald Trump’s account of his first decade as a Manhattan developer — the Grand Hyatt, Trump Tower, the Wollman Rink, Atlantic City. A first-person account of how a large urban development actually gets assembled — zoning, tax abatements, air rights, lenders and press — written before its author was a political figure.
