The American Trap

My Battle to Expose America's Secret Economic War Against the Rest of the World

By: Frédéric Pierucci, Matthieu Aron

Narrated by: Luke Thompson

This is the story of a man caught in the middle of a huge American destabilising operation, illustrating the secret economic war that the United States is waging against developed nations across the world.

In 2014, France lost part of the control of its nuclear power plants to the United States. Frédéric Pierucci, former senior executive of one of Alstom's subsidiaries, found himself at the heart of this state scandal. His story goes to the very heart of a $12 billion thriller that illustrates the secret economic war that the United States is waging in Europe. And after being silenced for a long time, he has decided, with the help of journalist Matthieu Aron, to reveal all.

In April 2013, Frédéric was arrested in New York by the FBI and prosecuted for a bribery case, despite not being involved at all. The US authorities locked him up for more than two years - including 14 months in a very high security prison. In doing so, they forced Alstom to pay the biggest penalty ever imposed by the United States and to give up areas of control to General Electric, Alstom's biggest American competitor.

Frédéric's story unpacks how the United States is diverting the law and morality and using corporate law as an economic weapon against its own allies. One after the other, some of the world's largest companies are being actively destabilised to the benefit of the US Treasury, in acts of sabotage that seem only to be the beginning of what's to come....

Amazing

It reads like a thriller. It is unbelievably disturbing that so much corruption, hypocrisy and bullying goes around,

A must read

The personal story of the victim of the war the USA has launched against the world to cement its economic dominance

Unbelievable

Unbelievable, shame shame shame on DOJ. As an American citizen I am losing my faith in the United States judicial system. The Supreme Court and the DOJ seems to be following so many others that money and power is the supreme law.
