Description

Red Notice: How I Became Putin's No. 1 Enemy In 2009, a young lawyer named Sergei Magnitsky was brutally beaten to death in a Moscow prison, his crime being to testify against corrupt officials involved in a massive tax fraud. The case remained uninvestigated and unpunished, sparking outrage around the world. This book tells the story of Bill Browder, the hedge fund manager who employed Magnitsky, and his journey from the world of finance to becoming a human rights activist. Browder's graphic portrait of the Russian government as a criminal enterprise exposes the truth behind Magnitsky's imprisonment and murder, revealing a web of fraud, bribery, corruption, and torture. With his personal transformation from financier to activist, Browder takes us on a shocking and true political roller-coaster that plays out in the highest echelons of Western power.
