Russia's interference in 2016 marked only the latest chapter of a hidden and revelatory history. In Rigged, David Shimer tells the sweeping story of covert electoral interference past and present. He exposes decades of secret operations - by the KGB, the CIA, and Vladimir Putin's Russia - to shape electoral outcomes, melding deep historical research with groundbreaking interviews with more than 130 key players, from leading officials in both the Trump and Obama administrations, to CIA and NSA directors, to a former KGB general.

Did not mention Fox "News" once
Revisado: 07-06-20
I listened to this book due to Hillary Clinton's recommendation on Twitter. I was appalled, disgusted and depressed to learn the extent to which the US used to interfere in other countries' elections (the book claims we have stopped; I'm skeptical). I would like to hear President Obama's opinion of the book, as he does not come off very well in it. The list at the end, of the 10 things we need to do as a nation to combat foreign election interference, is very good but I was disappointed that reinstating the Fairness Doctrine was not one of them, nor was there any plan for dealing with the malign effects of Fox "News." In fact Fox "News" was not mentioned at all, and so I knocked off a star for that. I have lost my parents and siblings to that propaganda channel, and it is a huge influence on them. None of them are on social media, which the book focuses on and perhaps rightly so, but to not even mention this mainstream source of Russian/Trumpian gaslighting is a glaring omission.

Discover magazine recently called Richard Dawkins "Darwin's Rottweiler" for his fierce and effective defense of evolution. Prospect magazine voted him among the top three public intellectuals in the world (along with Umberto Eco and Noam Chomsky). Now Dawkins turns his considerable intellect on religion, denouncing its faulty logic and the suffering it causes.

Everyone should read this book. Awesome narration; brain-stretching & observations that made me laugh out loud.

Preet Bharara has spent much of his life examining our legal system, pushing to make it better, and prosecuting those looking to subvert it. Bharara believes in our system and knows it must be protected, but to do so, he argues, we must also acknowledge and allow for flaws both in our justice system and in human nature. Bharara uses the many illustrative anecdotes and case histories from his storied, formidable career - the successes as well as the failures - to shed light on the realities of the legal system and the consequences of taking action.

Intelligent, moving and at times humorous
Revisado: 06-27-20
I enjoyed this audiobook very much, not least because Mr Bharara hmself narrated it. I've come to know his soothing voice through his podcasts Stay Tuned and Cafe Insider. In today's dystopian American society it is important to listen to voices of reason and intellect such as Mr Bharara, even though sometimes hearing his kind, wise words can serve as a stark reminder of what we have (hopefully temporarily) lost in terms of justice and the rule of law. Highly recommend.

No one is above the law. This belief is as American as freedom of speech and turkey on Thanksgiving - held sacred by Democrats and Republicans alike. But as celebrated Supreme Court lawyer and former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal argues in Impeach, if President Trump is not held accountable for repeatedly asking foreign powers to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, this could very well mark the end of our democracy. To quote President George Washington's Farewell Address: "Foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government."

Just finished listening to this wonderful book. It lays out the facts concerning the current impeachment inquiry, as well as history of the impeachment process as set out by the founders in the Constitution. Well written and resoundingly patriotic. Five stars!
