Without Compromise: The Brave Journalism that First Exposed Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and the American Epidemic of Corruption: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Without Compromise: The Brave Journalism that First Exposed Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and the American Epidemic of Corruption" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

A collection of groundbreaking investigations by Wayne Barrett, the intrepid, muckraking Village Voice journalist who exposed corruption in New York City and beyond.
With piercing moral clarity and exacting rigor, Wayne Barrett tracked political corruption in the pages of the Village Voice fact by fact, document by document for 40 years. The first to report on the scams and crooked deals that fueled the rise of Donald Trump in 1979, Barrett went on to expose the shady dealings of small-time slum lords and powerful New York City politicians alike, from Ed Koch to Rudy Giuliani to Michael Bloomberg.
Without Compromise is the first anthology of Barretts investigative work, accompanied by essays from colleagues and those he trained. In an age of lies, fog, and propaganda, when the profession of journalism is degraded by the White House and the industry is under financial threat, Barrett reminds us that facts, when clearly accumulated, are our best defense of democracy.

Praise for
Without
Compromise

As Donald Trump rose to power, no journalist busted him earlier or better than the late investigative reporter Wayne Barrett, whose indispensable work is gathered in Without Compromise. Barretts pieces provide an x-ray into Trumps soul, and into the civic corruption that fueled his rise. These stories are essential reading, alive with fresh insights and information illuminating todays politics, and remind us that rigorous journalism is still democracys best defense.

Jane Mayer, author of Dark Money

An instantly classic collection by one of the greatest reporters New York ever produced, and one of the greatest of his era. Few could combine righteous fury with dogged attention to detail like Barrett. This collection is a treasure and (somewhat maddeningly) a reminder that the fools, crooks, and wannabe strongmen that have our republic dangling over a precipice have been this way for a long, long time.

Chris Hayes, host of All In with Chris Hayes and author of A Colony in a Nation

These pages bring Wayne Barrett back to life in all his investigative glory, his moral clarity, his righteous rage. Barrett was prescient, not just about Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani, but also about how, time and time again, individuals and institutions would fail to rein in the greed of those who feed off the public trough and to address the racism that undergirds both public policy and private behavior. Wayne Barretts life and work continue to inspire, especially at a time when truth and facts are under siege. He had a mantra: The job of our profession is discovery, not dissertation. Journalists are paid to tell the truth, he said, and that he did, no matter who, no matter what.

Sheila Coronel, dean of academic affairs and director Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism, Columbia Journalism School

Dedicated to the memory of

Wayne Barrett,

truth teller, mentor, detective for the people.

The actors are pretty small and venal. Their ideas are small, never transcending profit. In it, however, are the men elected to lead us and those who buy them. And in it, unhappily, are the processes and decisions that shape our city and our lives.

Wayne Barrett article on Donald Trump published January 22, 1979

Get the list of looters. Particularly those whove pled.

Wayne Barrett notes on article about Sam Wright, 1978

W AYNE BARRETT didnt report a word on the Trump administration. He died the night before the 45th president took office. But as the many scandals of the Trump presidency began to unfold, Barretts foundational reporting on the New York City real estate developer was cited almost ritually, Barrett inevitably identified as legendary investigative reporter Wayne Barrett. His family, friends, and colleagues thought readers should have access to some of that reporting. This book is the result.

Barrett wrote in the Village Voice nearly every week for the better part of four decades, a steady accretion of knowledge silting up into hundreds of thousands of column inches. Collected here are just a few of those articles, accompanied by reflections from journalists who shared and continue his work. Ive tried to select pieces that in their totality illustrate something of his craft and tell stories worth remembering at this long distance. The articles republished here have, in a few cases, been very lightly edited to facilitate publication in book format. Some pieces have been edited for space. Portions that have been elided are marked with ***. Where an insertion has been made to enhance clarity, the added words are in {}. Inevitably, most of what Barrett wrote, indeed entire mayoral administrations, are left out. The pieces included reveal the antecedents that shaped our present and the methods of a dogged reporter whose stock in trade was never conjecture or polemic but a relentless deluge of fact. Wayne Barrett believed in facts.

He did not, Im fairly certain, believe in ghosts. His mind was clear and rational. But pulling together this volume plunged me into a New York crowded with ghosts of a different city, of a country we sold, of a robust journalism stacked now in microfilm drawers. I took on this project at the request of Fran Barrett, Waynes wife, because I wanted to make sure we didnt forget. I wanted to save something, the way you grab a photo from a burning building so you can remember what you had. Its not only about the past; memory is about the future, too, and what might yet be possible.

My research began with a visit to the vestigial offices of the Village Voice. The Voice, like so many American newspapers, died a few years ago. But a remnant remains, two men in an office that once housed a crowd of unruly journalists, working like medieval monks to preserve the knowledge the
