About this ebook

The incredible, harrowing account of how American democracy was hacked by Moscow as part of a covert operation to influence the U.S. election and help Donald Trump gain the presidency.

"Russian Roulette is...the most thorough and riveting account." -- The New York Times

Russian Roulette is a story of political skullduggery unprecedented in American history. It weaves together tales of international intrigue, cyber espionage, and superpower rivalry. After U.S.-Russia relations soured, as Vladimir Putin moved to reassert Russian strength on the global stage, Moscow trained its best hackers and trolls on U.S. political targets and exploited WikiLeaks to disseminate information that could affect the 2016 election.

The Russians were wildly successful and the great break-in of 2016 was no "third-rate burglary." It was far more sophisticated and sinister -- a brazen act of political espionage designed to interfere with American democracy. At the end of the day, Trump, the candidate who pursued business deals in Russia, won. And millions of Americans were left wondering, what the hell happened? This story of high-tech spying and multiple political feuds is told against the backdrop of Trump's strange relationship with Putin and the curious ties between members of his inner circle -- including Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn -- and Russia.

Russian Roulette chronicles and explores this bizarre scandal, explains the stakes, and answers one of the biggest questions in American politics: How and why did a foreign government infiltrate the country's political process and gain influence in Washington?

Ratings and reviews

Thank you for taking a stand with this book. I recently made a comment on Trumps YT video site about Ivanka being unqualified and not worthy to take president's place as well as how they would set up and welcome an invasion from russia. She ended up deleting all my YT accounts all because she is a narcissist who cant handle the truth and is a traitor. Also how fake news is just an excuse to cover up alternative facts. I must of said the truth then if all my YT accounts got deleted.

Trump sup and putins bots dont want to admit the truth but there is a lot to connection of trumps to putin and his friends. Ivanka even vacationed and had close ties to his gf in past and colleagues. They are all corrupt its sickening. Only traitors are ok with this and deny it. Please make sure Ivanka the traitor doesnt become pres after daddy one is enough.

A complete recounting of news stories about Russia's involvement in the 3016 election. Along with additional information in their involvement with the Trump campaign and how all of this has affected the outcome of the election and tRump presidency.
