Publisher's Summary
A provocative, comprehensive analysis of Vladimir Putin and Russia's master plan to destroy democracy in the age of Donald Trump.
In the greatest intelligence operation in the history of the world, Donald Trump was made president of the United States with the assistance of a foreign power. For the first time, The Plot to Destroy Democracy reveals the dramatic story of how blackmail, espionage, assassination, and psychological warfare were used by Vladimir Putin and his spy agencies to steal the 2016 U.S. election - and attempted to bring about the fall of NATO, the European Union, and western democracy. It will show how Russia and its fifth column allies tried to flip the cornerstones of democracy in order to re-engineer the world political order that has kept most of the world free since 1945.
Career U.S. Intelligence officer Malcolm Nance will examine how Russia has used cyber warfare, political propaganda, and manipulation of our perception of reality - and will do so again - to weaponize American news, traditional media, social media, and the workings of the internet to attack and break apart democratic institutions from within, and what we can expect to come should we fail to stop their next attack. Nance has utilized top secret Russian-sourced political and hybrid warfare strategy documents to demonstrate the master plan to undermine American institutions that has been in effect from the Cold War to the present day.
Based on original research and countless interviews with espionage experts, Nance examines how Putin's recent hacking accomplished a crucial first step for destabilizing the West for Russia, and why Putin is just the man to do it. Nance exposes how Russia has supported the campaigns of right-wing extremists throughout both the U.S. and Europe to leverage an axis of autocracy, and how Putin's agencies have worked since 2010 to bring fringe candidate Donald Trump into elections.
Revelatory, insightful, and shocking, The Plot to Destroy Democracy puts a professional spy lens on Putin's plot and unravels it play-by-play. In the end, he provides a better understanding of why Putin's efforts are a serious threat to our national security and global alliances - in much more than one election - and a blistering indictment of Putin's puppet, President Donald J. Trump.

Very thorough, detailed, and frightening!
Bought this book after seeing the author on Real Time with Bill Maher and feeling impressed with him. It took me a chapter to get used to the narrator, but I appreciate his knowledge of Russian pronunciations and voice acting. I knew a LOT about the Russian's attempts to destroy global democracies, but not as much as I thought. This book is very in-depth and really gets to the core of the issues facing anyone who values democracy today. It is frightening to understand just how deep things go, and makes every Trump gaff make a lot more sense when you understand everything that led up to today. I highly recommend this book. I just wish I could beam this knowledge into the brains of every citizen of a democracy instantly, particularly Americans. If that were possible, the only supporters that would remain behind Trump, would be pure-bred racists. And I bet even some of them would reconsider their support. Can't recommend enough. And the length of the book was nice. I prefer not to be finished in 3 hrs. Well done Nance!

Be afraid, be very afraid!
I could get all cliche and say this book should be required reading, but I won't (Ha! Just did.) The overwhelming message here is that we (the western democracies) are in deep doodoo and our whole way of life (our culture) is under attack by Putin and his oligarchic cronies. And it is not just Trump, who is basically dismissed as a narcissist, functional illiterate, low IQ lapdog for any strongman who scratches him behind his ears. No, the author takes us through each of the European countries and identifies the Putin "running dog" in each one. He opines that if Marine Le Pin had beaten Macron in the French election, then France and the U.S. would have disbanded NATO and initiated a new world order -- The U.S.,France and Russia. If that sounds now too out there to be believed, then it won't after you read Nance. He is certainly no wild left wing conspiracy theorist. This book should be taken very seriously by all people who believe in democracy because it is clearly under attack.

Well worth reading
I initially thought this was going to be mainly about Trump and Putin but it is a very comprehensive study of Russia’s methodical plan to destroy Democracy in all the Wedtern countries. It goes into great detail as to what is happening in each of these countries, the ride of Populism and it’s connections to Russia. Excellent book.#Audible1
