Histoire
American Kompromat tells of the spies and salacious events underpinning men’s reputations and riches. It tells how a relatively insignificant targeting operation by the KGB’s New York rezidentura (New York Station) more than 40 years ago - an attempt to recruit an influential businessman as a new asset - triggered a sequence of intelligence protocols that morphed into the greatest intelligence bonanza in history. And it tells of a coterie of associates, reaching all the way into the office of the attorney general, who stood to advance power and themselves.

In Mr. Trump’s campaign against what he calls “Fake News”, CNN Chief White House Correspondent, Jim Acosta, is public enemy number one. From the moment Mr. Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, he has attacked the media, calling journalists “the enemy of the people”. Acosta presents a damning examination of bureaucratic dysfunction, deception, and the unprecedented threat the rhetoric Mr. Trump is directing has on our democracy. When the leader of the free world incites hate and violence, Acosta doesn’t back down, and he urges his fellow citizens to do the same.

How did America end up with a leader who acts so crudely and despotically, and counter to our democratic principles? Why do his followers stick with him, even when he acts against their interests? John Dean, a man with a history of standing up to autocratic presidents, joins with Bob Altemeyer, a psychology professor with a unique area of expertise: authoritarianism. Together, using psychological diagnostic tools, as well as exclusive research and analysis from the Monmouth University Polling Institute, the authors provide us with an eye-opening understanding of the Trump phenomenon.

The 2016 election was a watershed for the United States. But, as Tim Alberta explains in American Carnage, to understand Trump’s victory is to view him not as the creator of this era of polarization and bruising partisanship, but rather as its most manifest consequence. American Carnage is the story of a president’s rise based on a country’s evolution and a party’s collapse. As George W. Bush left office with record-low approval ratings and Barack Obama led a Democratic takeover of Washington, Republicans faced a moment of reckoning.

A stunningly fresh narrative that begins just as Trump’s second year as president is getting underway and ends with the delivery of the Mueller Report, Siege reveals an administration that is perpetually beleaguered by investigations and a president who is increasingly volatile, erratic, and exposed.

Donald Trump's campaign chairman went to jail. So did his personal lawyer. His long-time political consigliere was convicted of serious federal crimes, and his national security advisor pled guilty to others. Career intelligence agents and military officers were alarmed enough by the president's actions that they alerted senior government officials and ignited the impeachment process. Yet despite all this, a years-long inquiry led by special counsel Robert Mueller, and the third impeachment of a president in American history, Donald Trump survived to run for re-election. Why?

Description
CNN’s chief national security correspondent reveals the invisible fronts of 21st-century warfare and identifies the ongoing battles being waged - often without the public’s full knowledge - from disinformation campaigns to advanced satellite weaponry.
The United States is currently under attack from multiple adversaries - yet most Americans have no idea of the dangers threatening us. In this eye-opening audiobook, military and intelligence expert and seasoned reporter Jim Sciutto traces the expanding web of attacks that together amount to an undeclared but deeply dangerous war on America.
With in-depth reporting from Ukraine to the South China Sea, Cuba to the earth’s atmosphere, unprecedented access to America’s Space Command, and new information from inside the intelligence agencies tracking election interference, Sciutto draws on his deep knowledge, high-level contacts, and personal experience as a journalist and diplomat to paint the most comprehensive and vivid picture of a nation targeted by a new and disturbing brand of warfare.
America is engaged in a shadow war on multiple fronts, with multiple enemies. The practitioners include America’s most familiar adversaries: Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. But unlike conventional warfare, these conflicts are conducted in the shadows, with no formal declaration, and often use multiple sources, from influential businessmen and lawyers to hackers. And it is happening today.
But America is adapting and fighting back. In The Shadow War, Sciutto introduces the dizzying array of soldiers, sailors, submariners and their commanders, space engineers, computer scientists, and civilians who are on the front lines of this new kind of forever war. Intensive and disturbing, this invaluable and important work opens our eyes and makes clear that future war is here.

Well written and narration by the author is terrific. This is a compelling and well researched cautionary tale. It is scary, as it lays out the treats presented to America and indeed the world, by Russia and China. It also delineates strategies to defuse these threats...recommended by very knowledgeable experts. It should be mandatory reading for all politicians and departmental decision makers! A great book written by a true patriot!

Not too political and very succinct in its telling. Gives some good information I wasn't aware of before. He does a very good job with his first hand accounts and walks through some of the backgrounds that lead up to current events you might not have put together before.
The best part it is not full of Nepostism of the US being helpless but instead provides hope that if we pay attention, we very well can be the country that continues to steer world policy. And thank God for that.

You can discount CNN all you want, but I’d Say you are wildly missing out on a good resource. Jim does wonderful work outlining exactly why china and Russia are quickly becoming the Indians to our proverbial Redcoats. The over arching point being why declare open warfare when you can gain everything you want via the hybrid warfare he describes that both countries are currently cheerfully using against us at will — I would hope the current administration would take note but....

Informative and interesting, but incomplete.
Informative and interesting, but paints a dangerously incomplete picture of the world.
Jim Sciutto's book is a very interesting look at the tactics employed by two of America's rivals - Russia & China - to challenge American global dominance. Sciutto's theory is that both nations are employing a form of assymetric warfare designed to challenge US interests, but to stay "below the threshold" that would elicit a powerful (presumably military) response.
In order to support this idea, he cites several different incidents - from China's expansion in the South China sea, where he paints a picture of the transformation and militarization of the region by China over the last decade; to the Ukraine, where Russia very successfully employed proxies to manipulate the situation towards their interests. Throughout the narration, he builds a convincing case that these two countries are indeed violating what he defines as "the rules based global order", led by the United States. There is a compelling amount of evidence to demonstrate both that this is happening, and that the US response to it has been inadequate.
However, this is ultimately a superficial examination of world events, because the author seems to be under the delusion that these are exceptional actions, rather than simply tools of statecraft used by almost all global players - foremost among them the United States itself. Russia's use of proxies in the Ukraine follows exactly the template the US set in Libya and Syria, except that the Russians were more committed to the operation due to geographical closeness, and thereby more successful. China's militarization of the South China sea and aggressive ramp-up of military spending deserves scrutiny, but it must be viewed in context: China’s military spending is still only 1/5th that of the United States - and both past and current US administrations have made plenty of noises that would make any competitor nervous and inclined to increase their military budget.
The author’s portrayal of these two nations as the primary obstacle to world peace is simply not believable for most people who live outside US borders: Global polls, even during the Obama era, consistently showed that Russia and China are seen as less of a threat to world peace than the US.
Additionally, all the solutions proposed by the author fall right into the category described by Ronan Farrow as “mil-think” - an approach to solving conflicts that is primarily military, rather than diplomatic in nature. Sciutto’s selection of who he interviews is consistent with this, as his selections generally involve the people whose job it is to be paranoid about security - again, it is reasonable to interview people in security and threat assessment, but interviewing only these people without gathering the thoughts of diplomats is a glaring error. Thus, almost all the proposed “solutions” involve escalations in military pressure by the United States, or more drastic sanctions; neither of which are likely to garner any degree of public support from an already war-weary general electorate.
All in all, this is an informative book to read, but it paints a disturbingly inaccurate view of the world and involves almost no reflection on what our place in the world ought to be. Instead, much like former President George W Bush, it attempts to neatly divide the world into good and evil forces, and attempts to ask the question, “How should we respond to these evil people attacking us?”. It answers that question well, but the flawed premise of that line of questioning remains unexamined.
The book is still worth reading, as it is an entertaining and informative look at the tools of statecraft employed by our rivals, but I’d highly recommend reading two other books first: (1) Ben Rhodes’ “The World as it is” - an excellent memoir of the State Department during the Obama administration; and (2) Ronan Farrow’s “War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence” - about the decline of what used to be the world’s most powerful & effective diplomatic machine: the US State Department. Without that background reading, this book will likely just lead you into a state of mindless jingoism, the results of which were clearly seen during the Bush administration years. The world cannot be neatly divided into forces of good and evil, no matter how hard security experts try to convince you otherwise.
The narration for the audiobook is excellent.

Twilight Zone In Real Time
Shadow War scares me because of America's late start in regards to computer coding, along with the inability to speak multiple languages, as well as behind China and Russia in regards to their technological achievements. . . Mr. Sciutto's narration is exceptional. He makes this story perfectly clear, America must catch-up with not one, but two superpowers. . . This is a splendid audiobook. It's concise within it's narrative and extremely thought-provoking. A must-read or to listen too...🎧📲
Makes me wonder; is America prepared for a simultaneous, three prong, Shadow War, were it to happen today?🤔😢

Good Info BUT...
I cannot stand the way the narrator and author pronounces the word “submariner”. I’m sure bubbleheads everywhere are just filled with glee that this one guy has honored their preference for the British pronunciation but it’s annoying. As a US Navy Veteran and topsider I have to say it’s like listening to nails on a chalkboard. No one pronounces it “sub-mah-reener” in the Navy. No one but the self important “sub-mare-in-ers”.
As for the rest of the book I found the information to be informative, important and thought provoking. However at times the author repeats information and anecdotal stories almost verbatim and I found myself checking to make sure I hadn’t somehow skipped backwards through the audibook on accident.
Despite the fact that I found those two things extremely annoying but rated the book at 4 stars should tell you how important I felt the content of this book is. Although I will say this book could have used more Bob Anderson. In fact...the world needs more Bob Anderson-he should write a book.
