It provides a well-written narrative of the story of how the author, Bill Browder, made millions investing in Russian stocks under the Yeltsin regime and when Putin and his thugs took over, managed to pull his investments out just in time before the assets were all stolen by the oligarchs. But the real story is what happened afterward. I don&#8217;t want to give spoilers but let&#8217;s just say what is revealed from the cover: it&#8217;s a tale of murder and one man&#8217;s fight for justice.<\/p>\n<p>I knew nothing about this case before reading the book. The closest I&#8217;d come was hearing that Donald Trump, Jr. met with a Russian lawyer to get dirt on Hillary Clinton and the cover story had something to do with adopting Russian children and the Magnitsky Act, whatever that was. The 2016 election is not part of this book as all the significant events took place before that, but it is quite political toward the end and drags at times because of that. The first half could be a bit tighter, too, but all in all it was a very interesting and engaging read. It may change your views toward Russia and some Western European countries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/12975428-russell-atkinson\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man&#8217;s Fight for Justice by Bill Browder My rating: 4 of 5 stars This true life thriller hit number one on the New York Times best seller list.
