We also have, centre stage, the book the author wants us to read: the story of Browder’s real-life campaign to bring down the financial house of cards that keeps Russia’s dictator-for-life in power. One, a breakneck financial thriller compelling breathless attention another, a true story, crisply told, of a country’s looting on a gigantic scale a third, a morality tale of how liars first have to carry on lying, then simply abolish the truth and fourth, and not least, a stimulating essay on Vladimir Putin’s motivation that sheds light on his monstrous war in Ukraine. Reading Bill Browder’s zesty new book about the theft, extortion, intimidation, lies and murder that are the Russian state’s daily levers of power can feel like reading several books at once.
