Publisher Description

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?

"[A] real reason to listen is to hear Peter Ganin narrating the origin story of the ‘Russia investigation’ and the Trump family’s determination to build a hotel in Moscow. At times employing an ever-so-slight Russian accent, Ganim makes this story sound like a le Carré novel. There are spies, mobsters, beauty pageants, and bit players caught up in worldwide intrigue. By the time you’ve finished listening, Ganim will leave you wondering whether you’ve just heard a work of fiction, or worse, fact.”

    " It's a lie. Where is the proof after over a year of investigation, no hard evidence. There is proof of the democrats, Obama and Hiliary. The media covers for them. There is no truthful media. TRUMP is making America great again. Only an outsider like Trump can make this happen. The swamp doesn't like change, this is what change looks like "
