About this audiobook

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An explosive exposé that lays out the story behind the Steele Dossier, including Russia’s decades-in-the-making political game to upend American democracy and the Trump administration’s ties to Moscow.

“Harding…presents a powerful case for Russian interference, and Trump campaign collusion, by collecting years of reporting on Trump’s connections to Russia and putting it all together in a coherent narrative.” —The Nation

December 2016. Luke Harding, the Guardian reporter and former Moscow bureau chief, quietly meets former MI6 officer Christopher Steele in a London pub to discuss President-elect Donald Trump’s Russia connections. A month later, Steele’s now-famous dossier sparks what may be the biggest scandal of the modern era. The names of the Americans involved are well-known—Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Jared Kushner, George Papadopoulos, Carter Page—but here Harding also shines a light on powerful Russian figures like Aras Agalarov, Natalia Veselnitskaya, and Sergey Kislyak, whose motivations and instructions may have been coming from the highest echelons of the Kremlin.
 
Drawing on new material and his expert understanding of Moscow and its players, Harding takes the reader through every bizarre and disquieting detail of the “Trump-Russia” story—an event so huge it involves international espionage, off-shore banks, sketchy real estate deals, the Miss Universe pageant, mobsters, money laundering, poisoned dissidents, computer hacking, and the most shocking election in American history.

Ratings and reviews

Wicked politicians will face judgment! Self serving politicians should not be in office! Our ancestors are turning in their graves many came here to escape cruel communistic dictatorship of old soviets many years ago. And now this! They deserve hells fire! Their was a communist in 1933 in soviet union who mentioned a take over some day.

Since this has all been debunked and has been proven to be dis/misinformation with facts made up by the intelligence community, will there be an update to the book explaining the revelations in the now released Durham Report. This book is utter garbage and made up nonsense. In fact, we now know the only Russian collusion was with the Hillary campaign, DNC and intelligence community.

More liberal, dumpster fire propaganda. It's time to grow up and move on.
