The dramatic and meticulously researched new book from former
criminal defence attorney and criminal investigator Seth Abramson
into the complex web of ties surrounding Donald Trump, showing how
Proof of Collusion was only the beginning of the story. In late
2015, international dealmaker and current cooperating witness in
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation George Nader
convened a secret meeting aboard a massive luxury yacht in the Red
Sea. Nader pitched to several Middle Eastern leaders a plan for a
new pro-US, pro-Israel alliance of Arab nations that would
fundamentally alter the geopolitics of the Middle East while
marginalising Iran, Syria and Turkey. To succeed, the plan would
need a highly placed American politician willing to drop sanctions
on Russia so that Vladimir Putin would in turn agree to end his
support for Iran. The gathered leaders agreed their perfect
American partner was Donald Trump, who had benefited immensely from
his Saudi, Emirati and Russian dealings for many years, and who
had, months earlier, become the only US presidential candidate to
argue for a unilateral end to Russian sanctions. So begins New York
Times bestselling author Seth Abramson's explosive new book Proof
of Conspiracy: How Trump's International Collusion Threatens
American Democracy, a story of international intrigue whose massive
cast of characters includes Israeli intelligence operatives,
Russian oligarchs, Saudi death squads, American mercenary
companies, Trump's innermost circle and several members of the
Trump family - all part of a clandestine multinational agreement
that takes us from Washington, DC and Moscow to the Middle Eastern
capitals of Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Jerusalem, Cairo, Tehran and Doha.
Proof of Conspiracy is a chilling and unforgettable depiction of
the dangers the world now faces.

For the first time, the full, explosive record of the unthinkable:
how a US president compromised American foreign policy in exchange
for the promise of future business and covert election assistance.
Looking back at this moment in history, historians will ask if
Americans knew they were living through the first case of criminal
conspiracy between an American presidential candidate turned
commander in chief and a geopolitical enemy. The answer might be:
it was hard to see the whole picture. The stories coming in from
around the globe have often seemed fantastical: clandestine
meetings in foreign capitals, secret recordings in a Moscow hotel,
Kremlin agents infiltrating the Trump inner circle... Seth Abramson
has tracked every one of these far-flung reports and now, in Proof
of Collusion, he finally gives us a record of the unthinkable - a
president compromising American foreign policy in exchange for the
promise of future business and covert election assistance. The
attorney, professor and former criminal investigator has used his
exacting legal mind and forensic acumen to compile, organise and
analyse every piece of the Trump-Russia story. His conclusion is
clear: the case for collusion is staring us in the face. Drawing
from American and European news outlets, he takes readers through
the Trump-Russia scandal chronologically, putting the developments
in context and showing how they connect. His extraordinary march
through all the public evidence includes: * How Trump worked for
thirty years to expand his real estate empire into Russia even as
he was rescued from bankruptcy by Putin's oligarchs and Kremlin
agents. * How Russian intelligence gathered compromising material
on him over multiple trips. * How Trump recruited Russian allies
and business partners while running for president. * How he
surrounded himself with advisers who engaged in clandestine
negotiations with Russia. * How Trump aides and family members held
secret meetings with foreign agents and lied about them. By pulling
every last thread of this complicated story together, Abramson
argues that - even in the absence of a Congressional investigation
or a report from Special Counsel Mueller - the public record
already indicates a quid pro quo between Trump and the Kremlin. The
most extraordinary part of the case for collusion is that so much
of it unfolded in plain sight.

Poetry. In James Armstrong's pellucid poetry the drifting of autumn
leaves shares space with the baroque architecture of nineteenth
century England. A woman peruses a book of pharmaceuticals in a
coffee shop looking for hints of happiness. And a naked woman
wearing hip boots stares out of the 1940s in a photograph hung in a
Michigan bar. Twilight is always moving the shadows of our urban
lives out toward the country, our inherited past, where a deer or a
heron waits like an angel glimpsed through the fog. Armstrong's
poems elucidate the mystery and beauty of borders--temporal and
historical, as well as geographical--while his pastoral sensibility
floods our senses with images of the natural world, seemingly
stopping time, edifying us, and helping us--for a few moments
anyway--to transcend our enervated contemporary lives. Reading this
book is like diving into a deep lake. It cleanses the soul.
