Interesting
I am not a news junkie; this story is new to me. I thought it was well written and well presented. And quite readable. And not full of political slant and opinions. The US-Russia relationship is so complicated. Who will ever know the truth? I will watch both films - the one pro and the other con. I disagree with the reviewers who feel Mr. Browder is looking for sympathy for the $ he lost. I felt he portrayed his risk quite directly and was more upset at the death of his friend. Although a case could be made for he should have known that could happen? I m not sure what this has to do with election meddling in 2016 except that Russia is not a democracy. Duh. I would have liked to hear from Mr. Browder why he gave up his citizenship- taxes maybe? And then goes to the US for support first. Second has he generated any earned income since Russia?

This book was cool.

Hedge Fund Manager to Human Rights Activist
This is the story of one man's 25-year journey from Stanford Business School to ultra-successful hedge fund manager to human rights activist. This is also the story of one particularly brave Russian lawyer who made the ultimate sacrifice in his fight for justice. Although (in my opinion) no government is completely free of corruption, Bill Browder lays out in excruciating and heartbreaking detail the extent of corruption, lawlessness, and human rights abuses in today's Russia. Browder strongly believes that Vladimir Putin or members of his regime will have him killed one day. Once you read this book, you will understand why Browder's fear is very much justified, and why we should all be worried.

How to rape the wealth from the communist!
Step 1: go to a communist country and strip billions of dollars of their wealth created over centuries. Step 2: Sell up and leave before they get revenge the only way they know how. Step 3: Let someone else pay the price for the retaliation, including death. Step 4: Go on a crusade and take all the credit for honoring their death whilst you kick back and enjoy the billions you made. Step 5: Write a book about what a wonderful philanthropist you are. The hypocrisy and self righteousness disgusts me.
