FIRST EDITION

In his smash best-seller, Trump: The Art of the Deal, Donald Trump described how he reached the top. Now he tells us how tough it is to stay there.

Trump: Surviving at the Top is an astonishingly candid and intimate account of Trump's triumphs and troubles, of realizing dreams and overcoming difficulties. Since his first book, Trump the dealmaker has loomed larger in the business world than ever before. Yet for all his success, he and the public have become well aware of his vulnerability.

"What separates the winners from the losers is how you react to each new twist of fate," Trump writes. "You have to be confident as you face the world each day but you can't be too cocky. Anyone who thinks he's going to win them all is going to wind up a big loser."

Surviving at the Top goes behind the scenes of Trump's biggest transactions -- dealing with Merv Griffin on Resorts International; restoring the majestic Plaza Hotel; building the awesome Taj Mahal. With each mesmerizing story of strategy, tactics, and risks, we see the skill, luck, and guts Trump used to build -- and keep -- a vast and lucrative empire.

With the victories, though, came disappointments: the decline of a real estate boom and the "go-go eighties"; the death of three close aides in a tragic helicopter crash; the turmoil surrounding Trump's separation from his wife, Ivana. Here, for the first time, Trump writes honestly of these setbacks, of how they affected his life and his work, and of how he has tried to reckon with them.

Like Trump: The Art of the Deal, this book reveals how and why Donald Trump does what he does, But Trump: Surviving at the Top goes may steps farther. It is about achieving what you want, keeping what you have, and how hard it is to prevail over the odds.
