'This pioneering and judicious history of foreign intervention in
elections should be read by everyone who wants to defend democracy
now.' Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny The definitive account
of covert operations to influence elections from the Cold War to
2016 - and why the threat is greater than ever in 2020. 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 CIA, the KGB, and Vladimir
Putin's Russia - to shape electoral outcomes, melding deep
historical research with groundbreaking interviews with more than
130 key players, from former CIA directors to a KGB general. What
Americans should make of Russia's attack in 2016 is still hotly
debated, even after the release of the Mueller Report and years of
media coverage. Shimer shows that Putin's operation was, in fact, a
continuation of an ongoing struggle, using familiar weapons
radically enhanced by new technology. Casting aside partisanship
and sensationalism, Rigged reveals new details about what Russia
achieved in 2016, how the United States responded, and why Putin
has also been interfering in elections across the globe in recent
years. Understanding 2016 as one battle in a much longer war is
essential to understanding the critical threat currently posed to
America's electoral sovereignty and how to defend against it.
Illuminating how the lessons of the past can be used to protect our
democracy in the future, Rigged is an essential book for readers of
every political persuasion.
