The Plot to Destroy Democracy
The Plot to Destroy Democracy: How Putin and His Spies Are Undermining America and Dismantling the West | Malcolm Nance
5 posts | 3 read | 10 to read
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.

It took me 22 days, but I finally finished it. I took my time reading it because I wanted to make sure I completely understood it- some parts were hard to believe and I had to read more than once to make certain I was understanding what Nance was saying. For me, it was information overload, but you can‘t lighten a topic like this. 🤯mind blown for sure. #bookly #booklyapp

Made myself a cuppa coffee, and plan to finish this book soon. I‘m starting to lose interest in this since I‘ve been listening to Fear. Anyone else in a similar situation?

I keep telling myself I will not read any more books about Trump. It is just too damn depressing. However, I could not resist this one. Wow - it is safe to say that Malcolm Nance believes that Trump is a willing participant in Russia‘s plan to create a new world order. For this and other reasons, Nance has a poor, poor opinion of Trump. The book has a lot of information (head-spinning at times). Nance obviously has a lot of knowledge in this area.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I know, I‘m so torn between wanting to read them all and avoid all of them. I‘ve heard Russian Roulette is very good too 6y
Samplergal I Love Malcolm Nance. I have the book and simply can‘t atm. I‘m sure it‘s just full of knowledge about this dismal mess we are in. 6y
Verity I‘m working my way thorough a pile of books about contemporary American politics - it sounds like I should add this to the list. 6y

Melkyl @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I have heard that one is very good. I may have to read it as well. 6y
Melkyl @Samplergal It is. The book is frightening, and it really details how ruthlessly Russia is attacking democracy all over the world. 6y
Melkyl @Verity There is definitely a lot of information. The book is not limited to American politics. It also details Russia‘s efforts in other Western nations to create chaos. It lays out that Putin has been playing the long game, and we appear to not have realized we were even playing. 6y
Verity @Melwilk sounds good. It‘s gone on the list! 6y
