November 2009. An emaciated young lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, is led to a freezing isolation cell in a Moscow prison, handcuffed to a bed rail, & beaten to death by eight police officers. His crime? To testify against the Russian Interior Ministry officials who were involved in a conspiracy to steal $230 million of taxes paid to the state by one of the world`s most successful hedge funds. Magnitsky`s brutal killing has remained uninvestigated & unpunished to this day. His farcical posthumous show-trial brought Putin`s regime to a new low in the eyes of the international community. Red Notice is a searing expose of the wholesale whitewash by Russian authorities of Magnitsky`s imprisonment & murder, slicing deep into the shadowy heart of the Kremlin to uncover its sordid truths. Bill Browder
- the hedge fund manager who employed Magnitsky
- takes us on his explosive journey from the heady world of finance in New York & London in the 1990s, through his battles with ruthless oligarchs in the turbulent landscape of post-Soviet Union Moscow, to his expulsion from Russia on Putin`s orders. Browder`s graphic portrait of the Russian government as a criminal enterprise wielding all the power of a sovereign state illuminates his personal transformation from financier to human rights activist, campaigning for justice for his late lawyer & friend. With fraud, bribery, corruption & torture exposed at every turn, Red Notice is a shocking but true political roller-coaster that plays out in the highest echelons of Western power.

The Soviet Union was founded on a fairytale. It was built on 20th-century magic called `the planned economy`, which was going to gush forth an abundance of good things that the penny-pinching lands of capitalism could never match. & just for a little while, in the heady years of the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working. ” Red Plenty” is about that moment in history, & how it came, & how it went away; about the brief era when, under the rash leadership of Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet Union looked forward to a future of rich communists & envious capitalists, when Moscow would out-glitter Manhattan, every Lada would be better engineered than a Porsche & sputniks would lead the way to the stars. & it`s about the scientists who did their genuinely brilliant best to make the dream come true, to give the tyranny its happy ending. ...
