The definitive and riveting investigation into how Vladimir Putin successfully mounted a decade-long covert war against the United States and how Donald Trump aided and abetted the operation and upended America and the world
How Russia Won tells the little-understood yet crucial story of how Vladimir Putin has waged a secret campaign to subvert and weaken the United States—and how Trump, his MAGA movement, the Republican Party, and right-wing media have served as useful idiots for the tyrannical Russian leader in his assault on America and the West.
In this gripping tale of international intrigue and political skullduggery, David Corn, bestselling author and veteran investigative journalist:
- Details the Kremlin’s clandestine operations to fuel political discord in U.S. politics and assist Trump that have been underway since 2016
- Exposes the extensive, fierce, and non-stop efforts of Trump and his supporters to deny Russia’s years-long attack on the United States
- Delivers a tough truth: Trump and his allies have been complicit in Putin’s war on America
This is the harrowing story of modern information warfare aimed at the U.S. by a nefarious foreign adversary and profound political betrayal at home. It is full of revelations and dramatic accounts of Russian intelligence operations targeting the United States; the Kremlin’s secret schemes to spread disinformation in 2020 and 2024 to boost Trump’s presidential campaigns; ties between Trump’s inner circle—including his personal attorney and his campaign manager—and Putin’s spies; Republican attempts to use Russian disinformation to protect Trump and smear Democrats; the bipartisan congressional investigation that blew apart Trump’s claim the Russia investigation was a hoax and raised troubling questions about his own interactions with Russia; and the never-ending propaganda campaign Trump and MAGA Republicans have pursued to cover up Putin’s clandestine intervention in U.S. politics.
