The Russian Connection is a story of political skullduggery unprecedented in American history. It weaves together tales of international intrigue, cyber espionage, and superpower rivalry. After US-Russia relations soured, as Vladimir Putin moved to reassert Russian strength on the global stage, Moscow trained its best hackers on US political targets and exploited Julian Assange and Wikileaks to disseminate information that could affect the 2016 election.

The Russians were wildly successful and the great break-in of 2016 was no third rate burglary. It was far more sophisticated and sinister -- a brazen act of political espionage designed to interfere with American democracy, and at the end of the day, Trump, the candidate with business ties to Russia, won. And millions of Americans were left wondering, what the hell happened?

This story of high-tech spying and multiple political feuds will be told against the backdrop of Donald Trump and his strange relationship with Putin, and his inner circle of advisers with profitable ties to Russia, most notably Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort.

The Russian Connection will chronicle and examine all these bizarre events and relationships, explain the stakes, and seek to answer one of the biggest questions in American politics: How and why did a foreign government infiltrate the country's political process and implant its tentacles in Washington?

Russian Roulette performs an important service in tracing how establishment Washington -- policymakers, intelligence chiefs, journalists -- came to understand that what Russia was (and reportedly is still) up to was not routine espionage...engaging, smart.--Los Angeles Times [RUSSIAN ROULETTE] does an outstanding job of putting the Russia-Trump story into context, separating rumor from fact and adding new information...A smart, solid, even-handed book that future historians will use as a starting point.--Booklist (starred review) An eye-popping expose of what amounts to a Cabinet appointment for Vladimir Putin in the Trump White House. If you're puzzled why the sitting president isn't going after the Russians for election tampering and other bad behavior, this is just the book to explain.--Kirkus Riveting.--Newsweek RUSSIAN ROULETTE is...the most thorough and riveting account.--The New York Times This narrative by investigative reporters Michael Isikoff and David Corn leaves the reader nearly overwhelmed by evidence that Trump and Vladimir Putin have been striving to collaborate for years. Russian Roulette...makes many important contributions to this extraordinary story.--The Guardian Two of the best and most accomplished investigative reporters of their generation, two of the best investigative reporters we have in this country...[A] superpower reporting team.--Rachel Maddow With decades of experience from working the capital's cloakrooms and briefing rooms, [Michael Isikoff and David Corn] are deft practitioners of the modern craft of political book prose...Russian Roulette is a public service.--PopMatters
