Book Description
The incredible, harrowing account of how American democracy was hacked by Moscow as part of a covert operation to influence the U.S. election and help Donald Trump gain the presidency. "Russian Roulette is...the most thorough and riveting account." -- The New York Times Russian Roulette is a story of political skullduggery unprecedented in American history. It weaves together tales of international intrigue, cyber espionage, and superpower rivalry. After U.S.-Russia relations soured, as Vladimir Putin moved to reassert Russian strength on the global stage, Moscow trained its best hackers and trolls on U.S. political targets and exploited WikiLeaks to disseminate information that could affect the 2016 election. The Russians were wildly successful and the great break-in of 2016 was no "third-rate burglary." It was far more sophisticated and sinister -- a brazen act of political espionage designed to interfere with American democracy. At the end of the day, Trump, the candidate who pursued business deals in Russia, won. And millions of Americans were left wondering, what the hell happened? This story of high-tech spying and multiple political feuds is told against the backdrop of Trump's strange relationship with Putin and the curious ties between members of his inner circle -- including Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn -- and Russia. Russian Roulette chronicles and explores this bizarre scandal, explains the stakes, and answers one of the biggest questions in American politics: How and why did a foreign government infiltrate the country's political process and gain influence in Washington?

Book Description
'It reads like fiction, but it is, astonishingly, history' THE TIMES IN 1917, AN ECCENTRIC BAND OF BRITISH SPIES IS SMUGGLED INTO NEWLY SOVIET RUSSIA. Their goal is to defeat Lenin's plan to destroy British India and bring down the democracies of the West. These extraordinary spies, led by Mansfield Cumming, proved brilliantly successful. They found a wholly new way to deal with enemies, one that relied on espionage and dirty tricks rather than warfare. They were the unsung founders of today's modern, highly professional secret services. They were also the inspiration for fictional heroes to follow, from James Bond to James Bond. 'Readers will find themselves as gripped as they would be by the very best of Fleming or le Carré' SUNDAY TIMES 'Marvellous, meticulously researched and truly groundbreaking' SIMON WINCHESTER

Book Description
This introduction is for the 8 books of my Winter Road Book series. Since my readers are worldwide as my Kingdom Followers, I will use the introduction to explain what winter roads are and how they came about. Canadian Winter Roads are very different from the Ice Roads made famous by the TV show called Ice Road Truckers which gave me my 15 seconds of fame. People have to remember that the TV show Ice Road Trucker is a form of entertainment like the Playboy Channel. Plus, the TV networks spent a lot of time and money to make the show a success around the world. I tip my hat to the TV network because I am still enjoying my 15 seconds of fame from all the marketing they have done. I will include a story on the filming we did but it will be more on the film crew and how they did their jobs in the cold Canadian winter. All other information or stories I will let the TV network tell those stories because they paid a lot of money to film and make the show.I will start my 1st book in the series; Winter Roads: My Struggles from 1996 through to 2007. Then continue with my 2nd book in the series; Winter Roads: Head Hanger from 2008 through to 2009. My 3rd book in the series; Winter Roads: White Suburban from 2010 through to 2011. My 4th book in the series; Winter Roads: Dream Team the year 2012. My 5th book in the series; Winter Roads: 15 Seconds of Fame the year 2013. My 6th book in the series; Winter Roads: Russian Roulette the year 2014. My 7th book in the series; Winter Roads: Never Give Up from 2015 through to 2018. My 8th book in the series; Winter Roads: Thor to the Rescue from 2019 through to 2020. These books will be on my experiences with winter and ice roads which will include my 15 seconds of fame on the Ice Road Truckers show. thansk
