The plot to destroy democracy : how Putin and his spies are undermining America and dismantling the West

Summary: 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. Career U.S. Intelligence officer Malcolm Nance provides 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 as a step towards bringing about the fall of NATO, the European Union, and Western democracy. Russia and its fifth column allies work 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. 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. 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.
