This book tells the story of Russia and how it evolved out of the Soviet Union into the crazy Putin-controlled oligarchy that it quickly became. Bill Browder was there in Moscow as an investment banker, almost from the getgo. Mr. Browder has a very interesting story to tell. If you've heard of the Magnitsky sanctions and wondered what that was all about, it's carefully explained in this book. He also authored a second book "Freezing Order," but I recommend that you start with "Red Notice."

It's not a difficult book, but it will shock the shit out of most Americans. That's all I can say. Mr. Browder also has a video or two posted on Youtube, I believe he gave interviews to British or American reporters. For his own safety he never reveals his whereabouts, since he gave up his American citizenship over 20 years ago. He's living somewhere in Great Britain now. Putin's agents are everywhere.
