New York Times bestseller THE BOOK THAT EXPLAINS WHY RUSSIANS WANTED TO MEET WITH THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN “Part John Grisham-like thriller, part business and political memoir.” –The New York Times ” Red Notice] does for investing in Russia and the former Soviet Union what Liar’s Poker did for our understanding of Salomon Brothers, Wall Street, and the mortgage-backed securities business in the 1980s. … Brothers, Wall Street, and the mortgage-backed securities business in the 1980s. Browder’s business saga meshes well with the story of corruption and murder in Vladimir Putin’s Russia, making Red Notice an early candidate for any list of the year’s best books” (Fortune).
This is a story about an accidental activist. Bill Browder started out his adult life as the Wall Street maverick whose instincts led him to Russia just after the breakup of the Soviet Union, where he made his fortune.
Along the way he exposed corruption, and when he did, he barely escaped with his life. His Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky wasn’t so lucky: he ended up in jail, where he was tortured to death. That changed Browder forever. He saw the murderous heart of the Putin regime and has spent the last half decade on a campaign to expose it. Because of that, he became Putin’s number one enemy, especially after Browder succeeded in having a law passed in the United States–The Magnitsky Act–that punishes a list of Russians implicated in the lawyer’s murder. Putin famously retaliated with a law that bans Americans from adopting Russian orphans.
A financial caper, a crime thriller, and a political crusade, Red Notice is the story of one man taking on overpowering odds to change the world, and also the story of how, without intending to, he found meaning in his life.more
Red Notice starts as a financial page-turner like those written by Michael Lewis and Ben Mezrich. It ends as a sad documentation of Putin-regime corruption and murder. Similar to The Future Is History, but in a very different way, it traces an arc from Russia of the 1990s (optimistic) to Russia today (authoritarian).
Bill Browder recounts his own journey as a rebellious young man from an academic family, to the creation of a hugely successful investment fund, built through scrupulous research of undervalued Russian public companies. Unfortunately, he and his team made many very powerful enemies in the process, which eventually led to the arrest, imprisonment, …
Riveting and disturbing, this true story follows Bill Browder’s journey from Russian investor to human rights activist as he fights for one of his lawyers who was unjustly imprisoned, tortured, and killed because of Browder’s move to take on the oligarchs and Russian’s subsequent quest for retribution. Perfect for book clubs, and an eye-opener for …

While this book, currently sitting at # 1 in International Business, #4 in Conspiracy Theories, and # 5 in Russian History books on Amazon, four years after it’s release, hardly needs another review I couldn’t help but write one.

Bill Browder’s Red Notice appealed to me, well written and very intriguing. Especially since I personally lived some of the adventures he writes about in Moscow during this time period. Excellent writing, informative and educational.
Quite eye-opening as to the lengths the Russians will go against one man.
Non Fiction that reads like a crime/spy novel.
