The Plot to Destroy Democracy

How Putin and His Spies Are Undermining America and Dismantling the West

De: Malcolm Nance, Rob Reiner - foreword

Narrado por: Peter Ganim

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.

A must perspective you won’t get anywhere else.

Malcom Nance spent a good deal of his career in Naval Intelligence & later the CIA and knows Russia likely as well as any American. More specifically, he is intimately familiar with the entire history USA-Russia, USA-USSR, and now United States and Russian Federation as well as speaks the language, and studied an intelligence adversary that also happens to be the President... face it, the Tsar of Russia.

The beauty of this book is it’s a compliment to his first book on the topic, the Plot to Hack America. This book is the wide-angle, complete view of the Forrest while the other book was a fascinating and informative almost play-by-play that gives a detailed but comprehensive look at the trees.
A perspective from 30,000 feet that ONLY Mr. Nance or someone with an identical background could provide.

This one is a must if you want to know the back story and learn so much more about the matter than you think you can having followed it for nearly two years and watched the current president implement policies you would think he is taking directly off Vladimir Putin’s wish list. Malcom Nance is an excellent communicator and tells you the whole story in a readable, cohesive narrative with nary a wasted word. Well done yet again, sir.
Thank you for your decades of sacrifice and service!

Just wow!

Absolutely excellent and essential for every bookshelf. I recommend getting the written version in addition to the audio. It is a lot of information to reflect back on. You will need to show your family members how America ended up with their first Russian President. Well documented from a source we can trust, Malcolm Nance. We need a Children’s version, as it is very difficult to explain how we landed in this situation.

Important to hear

This book has way more detailed information than I needed, but it’s probably needed to give any credence to what would otherwise seem to be some pretty outrageous conclusions.

Malcolm Nance to the rescue again with his latest

This book proves the conspiracy and inspires a truly American resistance. It is very thorough and well written - a piece of historical analysis that gets you up to speed in a hurry - like drinking from a fire hose! This is the most important book you will ever read given the perilous point we are at with our democracy in 2018. This book explains why the 2018 election is the most important election in the history of the world, because Russia currently has control of the U.S. government and we must HOLD FAST to ward off this Kremlin sourced kleptocracy in its ongoing take over of America.

Note: The audio book version has one minor flaw however, there seems to be a small section towards the middle of the book which was repeated, but only a chapter or maybe part of one. No big deal. Otherwise flawless!

Great book

This book takes me for a tale spin, watching the news daily then listening to this book made every thing clearer if you care about your freedom and our democracy it’s a must read/listen

narrator did phenomenal job

The narrator handled the foreign names and text masterfully. He even made German sound sexy.

The Alarm Has Sounded: Russia is the Enemy

Malcolm Nance, with his extensive experience as an intelligence officer for the USA, nailed it on the head about Russia's multi-faceted attempts to destroy our democracy. Listen as all of the pieces are put in place for decades and then executed. This resulted in putting into power a Russian stooge in the White House, a useful idiot who won't criticize the Putin. These are the facts, folks. The alarm has sounded. Our democracy is imperiled. Voting is our weapon against Russia. Narrator Peter Ganim is superb.

Excellent / Enlightening Info

The breadth and depth of information is mind boggling...in fact, in some ways, getting through the book was a bit of a slog, but the info is so good that it’s worth it to push through. Everyone deserves to know and understand this information...it will help you prepare to defend yourself from being influenced by bad actors who do not have your best interests in mind.

Excellent

Thank you Mr Nance for your insights and passion for this great nation. Marion Roe
