With the recent indictments of Paul Manafort, Richard Gates, and George Papadopoulos, Russia expert Luke Harding lays out the most in-depth look to date at the Trump campaign’s dealings with Russia. Beginning with a meeting with Christopher Steele, the man behind the shattering dossier that first brought the allegations to light, Harding probes the histories of key Russian and American players with striking clarity and insight. In a thrilling, fast-paced narrative, Harding exposes the disquieting details of the Trump-Russia story – a saga so huge it involves international espionage, offshore banks, sketchy real estate deals, mobsters, money laundering, disappeared dissidents, computer hacking, and the most shocking election in American history.
The last Warning before the end of our democracy? The âbig pictureâ is the scariest thing ever seen in American politics: an immoral, greedy, barely literate, deeply incompetent, neo-Nazi racist elected as the 45th President of the USA.
A solid read Never before has such a thorough accounting for Kremlin interference been made plain despite the swirling allegations in 24/7 media landscape. The facts are laid so bare that this reviewer fully expects the troll farms financed by Russia will immediately bombard this book with fake reviews. A good investigate read which no matter what political stripes you have, will send chills once you realize just how far Putin will go to undermine Americans.
The Opposite of Fake News An incredible analysis of Trump-Russia collusion, expanding on Christopher Steele’s findings with fantastic detail. Luke Harding is new to me but I am already a huge fan of his investigative journalism. This book is incredibly well-sourced and reads well. I’d give it nearly five stars just for the content but the writing is captivating and worthy of merit on its own, making this book one of the best non-fiction titles I’ve read in several years.
