‘A withering study of how big law got into bed with the 45th president … Informative and disturbing … as much a rebuke of one large firm as it is an indictment of Trump’s Republican party.’
‘A withering study of how big law got into bed with the 45th president … Informative and disturbing … as much a rebuke of one large firm as it is an indictment of Trump’s Republican party.’
‘A blistering study.’
‘Servants of the Damned is a feat of thoughtful, detailed research, rendering with clarity and even compassion the moral drift of ‘big law.’ As an attorney, I found it illuminating — but this is important reading for anyone concerned about law and policy.’
‘This fascinating book is somehow both devastating and rollicking all at the same time. Enrich brings us into the room to watch how a modest law firm built on honourable service gradually becomes an uber-shield for the worst of American greed and abuse — all in the quest for enormous billable profits and outsized power. From handling a fatal gas explosion to terrorising a tobacco whistleblower to aiding Donald Trump, it's all in here.’
‘A fast-moving, damning book … Essential reading for students of the Trump corruption machine.’
‘The legal industry has sold its soul to deep-pocketed corporations and polarising politicians, according to this impassioned indictment of international law firm Jones Day and its peers … Enrich’s history of Jones Day probes the corrosion of ethics after the advent of law firm ads in the 1970s touched off a spiral of money-grubbing, and sketches engrossing vignettes of the predatory culture that resulted … a vivid, crackling account of the law at its most bullying. Readers will be outraged.’
Praise for Dark Towers:
‘A revelatory book about the rise and fall of the world’s biggest bank … Has all the elements of a page-turning mystery novel.’
Praise for Dark Towers:
‘Enrich compellingly shows how unchecked ambition twisted a pillar of German finance into a reckless casino where amorality and criminality thrived.’
Praise for Dark Towers:
‘In Dark Towers, David Enrich tells the story of how one of the world’s mightiest banks careened off the rails, threatening everything from our financial system to our democracy through its reckless entanglement with Donald Trump. Darkly fascinating and yet all too real, it’s a tale that will keep you up at night.’
