December 2016. Luke Harding, the Guardian reporter and former Moscow bureau chief, quietly meets former MI6 officer Christopher Steele in a London pub to discuss President-elect Donald Trumpโs Russia connections. A month later, Steeleโs now-famous dossier sparks what may be the biggest scandal of the modern era. The names of the Americans involved are well-knownโPaul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Jared Kushner, George Papadopoulos, Carter Pageโbut here Harding also shines a light on powerful Russian figures like Aras Agalarov, Natalia Veselnitskaya, and Sergey Kislyak, whose motivations and instructions may have been coming from the highest echelons of the Kremlin.
Drawing on new material and his expert understanding of Moscow and its players, Harding takes the reader through every bizarre and disquieting detail of the โTrump-Russiaโ storyโan event so huge it involves international espionage, off-shore banks, sketchy real estate deals, the Miss Universe pageant, mobsters, money laundering, poisoned dissidents, computer hacking, and the most shocking election in American history.
