Synopsis

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.

Hamilton said, “The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the country is by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion…” Throughout Americ......more

Goodreads review by Paul on July 12, 2018

Career intelligence analyst and self-described lifelong Republican Malcolm Nance makes a compelling, if at times sloppy, case that Russia and Vladimir Putin have long been cultivating Donald Trump as an unwitting tool to be used to Russia's advantage if ever the opportunity arose. Beginning with a M......more

Goodreads review by Mike on July 03, 2018

I could get all cliche and say this book should be required reading, but I won't (Ha! Just did.) The overwhelming message here is that we (the western democracies) are in deep doodoo and our whole way of life (our culture) is under attack by Putin and his oligarchic cronies. And it is not just Trump......more

Goodreads review by Candace on July 20, 2018

This is, without a doubt, one of the most terrifying books I've ever read. I saw one reviewer (in Publisher's Weekly) called it: "an overwrought work of conspiracy theory." I'm sure that's how Trump's supporters want us to view it, but Nance has an uncomfortable tendency to be ahead of the curve of......more

Goodreads review by Deborah on April 28, 2019

I wish Americans would read this book. I read Russian Roulette first, then Michael McFaul's book, from Cold War to Hot Peace, then this book. I have become convinced that Americans are under a sustained cyber attack from Russian across multiple social media platforms. Using a bandwagon effect is cri......more
