Collusion: Secret Meetings, Dirty Money, and How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win by Luke Harding

4.0

Well, if a fraction of the information in this book is accurate, then this is one of the most frightening books I have read in a long time. It did not take much to notice that former President Trump was not one on the finer details of foreign policy, diplomacy or even the basics of law, but he was extremely focused on what was good for Donald J and his family.

Luke Harding has presented a compelling case about possible collusion between the Russian government and the Trump campaign team to win the 2016 election and protect Trump and Russian business interests at the same time.

What I did like about the book was that Harding noted throughout where information was a little hazy or where there were multiple reasons for specific actions being taken and not all of these would have been illegal. Much information came from a dossier prepared by former MI6 operative Christopher Steele who is highly regarded by the FBI, CIA etc etc so seems to be a considered and credible source.

This is a very interesting book and one that will spark a lot of (heated) conversations.
