Bøker av Bill Browder

Magnitsky's brutal killing has remained uninvestigated and unpunished to this day. His farcical posthumous show-trial brought Putin's regime to a new low in the eyes of the international community.

Slik ble Bill Browder Putins største fiende «Jeg må anta at det er en stor sjanse for at Putin eller andre i hans regime en dag vil få meg drept. Som alle andre, har jeg ikke noe ønske om å dø, og jeg har ingen intensjoner om å la dem drepe meg. Jeg kan ikke nevne alle sikkerhetstiltakene jeg har innført, men jeg kan nevnte ett: denne boken.» I denne drivende dokumentaren avslører finansmannen Bill Browder sin farlige tokt for å bekjempe korrupsjon i Putins Russland, og belyser mordet på sin unge skatteadvokat, Sergej Magnitskij. Han var en del av teamet som beviste at korrupte russiske embetsmenn hadde forsynt seg av skattepengene Browders selskap hadde innbetalt, men ble beskyldt for å ha unndratt. Da Magnitskij ble fengslet og torturert til døde, gikk Bill Browder fra å være kapitalist til å bli menneskerettsaktivist. Browder er mannen bak den amerikanske Magnitsky Act, som nekter russere som er mistenkt for brudd på menneskerettighetene adgang til USA. Dette er en sterk og personlig beretning om et spennende, og brennaktuelt tema.

Freezing Order, the follow-up to Red Notice, is available now! "[Red Notice] does for investing in Russia and the former Soviet Union what Liar's Poker did for our understanding of Salomon Brothers, Wall Street, and the mortgage-backed securities business in the 1980s. Browder's business saga meshes well with the story of corruption and murder in Vladimir Putin's Russia, making Red Notice an early candidate for any list of the year's best books" (Fortune). "Part John Grisham-like thriller, part business and political memoir." ?The New York TimesThis is a story about an accidental activist. Bill Browder started out his adult life as the Wall Street maverick whose instincts led him to Russia just after the breakup of the Soviet Union, where he made his fortune. Along the way he exposed corruption, and when he did, he barely escaped with his life. His Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky wasn't so lucky: he ended up in jail, where he was tortured to death. That changed Browder forever. He saw the murderous heart of the Putin regime and has spent the last half decade on a campaign to expose it. Because of that, he became Putin's number one enemy, especially after Browder succeeded in having a law passed in the United States?The Magnitsky Act?that punishes a list of Russians implicated in the lawyer's murder. Putin famously retaliated with a law that bans Americans from adopting Russian orphans. A financial caper, a crime thriller, and a political crusade, Red Notice is the story of one man taking on overpowering odds to change the world, and also the story of how, without intending to, he found meaning in his life.

Following his explosive New York Times bestseller Red Notice, Bill Browder returns with another gripping thriller chronicling how he became Vladimir Putin's number one enemy by exposing Putin's campaign to steal and launder hundreds of billions of dollars and kill anyone who stands in his way.When Bill Browder's young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail, Browder made it his life's mission to go after his killers and make sure they faced justice. The first step of that mission was to uncover who was behind the $230 million tax refund scheme that Magnitsky was killed over. As Browder and his team tracked the money as it flowed out of Russia through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to Western Europe and the Americas, they were shocked to discover that Vladimir Putin himself was a beneficiary of the crime. As law enforcement agencies began freezing the money, Putin retaliated. He and his cronies set up honey traps, hired process servers to chase Browder through cities, murdered more of his Russian allies, and enlisted some of the top lawyers and politicians in America to bring him down. Putin will stop at nothing to protect his money. As Freezing Order reveals, it was Browder's campaign to expose Putin's corruption that prompted Russia's intervention in the 2016 US presidential election. At once a financial caper, an international adventure, and a passionate plea for justice, Freezing Order is a stirring morality tale about how one man can take on one of the most ruthless villains in the worldand win.
