Publisher's Summary

Instant New York Times best seller

"A richly documented indictment of power and corruption." (Kirkus Reviews)

Through diligent research, Seth Abramson exposes a story that US media has largely missed: a pre-election geopolitical conspiracy involving Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, and Russia that sought to put Trump in the White House - and succeeded.

In late 2015, convicted pedophile, international dealmaker, and cooperating witness in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation George Nader convened a secret meeting aboard a massive luxury yacht in the Red Sea. Nader pitched Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Emirati Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and other Middle Eastern leaders a plan for a new pro-US, pro-Israel alliance of Arab nations that would fundamentally alter the geopolitics of the Middle East while marginalizing Iran, Qatar, and Turkey. To succeed, the plan would need a highly placed American politician willing to drop sanctions on Russia so that Vladimir Putin would in turn agree to end his support for Iran. They agreed the perfect American partner was Donald Trump, who had benefited immensely from his Saudi, Emirati, and Russian dealings for many years, and who, in 2015, became the only US presidential candidate to argue for a unilateral end to Russian sanctions and a far more hostile approach to Iran.

So begins New York Times best-selling author Seth Abramson’s explosive new audiobook, Proof of Conspiracy: How Trump's International Collusion Threatens American Democracy, a story of international intrigue whose massive cast of characters includes Israeli intelligence operatives, Russian oligarchs, Saudi death squads, American mercenary companies, Trump’s innermost circle, and several members of the Trump family as well as Trump himself - all part of a clandestine multinational narrative that takes us from Washington, DC, and Moscow to the Middle Eastern capitals of Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Jerusalem, Cairo, Tehran, and Doha. Proof of Conspiracy is a chilling and unforgettable depiction of the dangers America and the world now face.

great book, must read

well researched and documented, the authors let the evidence speak for itself.
there's inferences made, but only of some logic.

this ISN'T a partisan hack attack book.

this is a very strongly supported piece of research.

“I Once Was Blind,” etc.

This work of investigative journalism is truly remarkable. It is impossible to put Trump’s conduct and the surrounding circumstances in context without a resource like this. This is an an adventure in thorough research that may provide more detail than you can absorb, but if you would like to understand exactly what we are facing as US citizens today, this is mandatory reading. You simply must read it.

A Grand Bargain

Proof of Conspiracy details recent developments in geopolitics, specifically as they relate to the United States, a Trump presidency, and a multinational plot referred to as the Red Sea Conspiracy (a.k.a. the Grand Bargain).

Abramson relies heavily on journalistic endeavors of other media outlets to inform his writings. For the most part, his claims are well sourced and usually corroborated, and he does a fine job indicating when he delves into speculation. I do wish there were less speculation considering the nature of the text, but at least it isn't presented as fact.

The audiobook provides annotations for each chapter at the end of the chapter. Perhaps it would be useful to give listeners the option to listen to annotations/footnotes as they arise...

Anyway, if you seek a thorough understanding of Trump's absurd and frequently criminal behavior, this book has a lot to offer!

It’s absolutely stunning

So many events, so many details, and the author weaves them together with a terrifying, fact driven mastery. This is a carefully researched and documented summary of actual meetings, events, statements and articles detailing one of the most stunning chapters of a generation.

The crime story of the millennium

Donald Trump and his crime family cohorts have perpetrated the theft of the American democracy. Seth meticulously researches and recounts the public record of this theft in a volume guaranteed to shock and sicken anyone still able to think above the din of social media and corporate-owned news. A MUST READ.

omg

I wish this were fiction because the writing wouldn't hurt so much in the gut... too many sordid details and events and to realize this stuff is already public knowledge...ffs

Deep dive

Mr. Abramson continues to do a stellar job connecting dots and bringing to light information that is not otherwise covered by mainstream media outlets. This is not about partisan politics or tribalism. This is about the degradation of our country’s rule of law. I highly recommend this book. It was every bit as good, if not better than its predecessor, Proof of Collusion.

Chillingly foretelling a truth no one could have imagined

The Facts, No more no less! This is the Chilling Factual Detail of what a self interested narcissist has been able to Con 40% of the American Public into believing, Not 1 or 2 lies, but 14,000 and counting in a mere 2 Years and 10 months!! It makes fellow Demagogue Joe McCarthy look like an amateur and Putin like the Professional KGB Coronel he’s always been!! Putin’s work trump’s even Kim Philby’s KGB inspired betrayal!
