![]() Bill Browder had what he thought was a good idea back in the 1990s: As the Soviet Union dissipated and its businesses became public, he would invest in those businesses and make billions of dollars. This was true and good for a while, until he got on the bad side of some Russian law enforcement individuals who did not like hearing "no." What comes next is horrifying and true, and results in major legislative action in Russia and the United States. This book was recommended by a friend who claims it as a favorite book. Because of the lockdown, I waited for the book to arrive from Literati, and in the meantime pitched it to my fledgling book club (they picked it!). Red Notice has a strong narrative voice and purpose. As in any true story of good and evil, there are some blurry lines that Browder sketches but does not address, which I love. Red Notice has added to my understanding of Russia- and stocks and government- in a way that I think will be lasting. Thanks for the recommendation, William!
