Summary

A gripping exposé about the biggest political scandal of the modern era.

Moscow, July 1987. Real-estate tycoon Donald Trump visits Soviet Russia for the first time at the invitation of the government.

London, December 2016. Luke Harding meets former MI6 officer Christopher Steele to discuss the president-elect's connections with Russia. Harding follows two leads: money and sex.

Washington, January 2017. Steele's explosive dossier alleges that the Kremlin has been 'cultivating, supporting, and assisting' Trump for years and that they have compromising information about him. Trump responds on twitter, 'FAKE NEWS.'

In Collusion, award-winning journalist Luke Harding reveals the true nature of Trump's decades-long relationship with Russia and presents the gripping inside story of the dossier. It features exclusive new material and draws on sources from the intelligence community.

Harding tells an astonishing story of offshore money, sketchy real-estate deals, a Miss Universe Pageant, mobsters, money laundering, hacking and Kremlin espionage. He shines a light on powerful Russian players like Aras Agalarov, Natalia Veselnitskaya and Sergey Kislyak, whose motivations and instructions may have come from Vladimir Putin himself.

The special prosecutor, Robert Mueller, has already indicted several of the American protagonists, including Trump's campaign manager, Paul Manafort. More charges are likely as the crisis engulfs Trump's administration. This audiobook gets to the heart of the biggest political scandal of the modern era. Russia is reshaping the world order to its advantage - this is something that should trouble us all.

What's audio book for couldn't put it down?

Written and performed like the best Le Carre novel you've ever read, Collusion would be written off as being "a bit far fetched" if it wasn't true! Luke Harding presents his methodical research brilliantly. He avoids conjecture and presents the facts, along with background details that provide supporting evidence and depth. I'm sure future historians will find this book invaluable.

Eye opener

I'm thinking do I need to look at this material with a pinch of salt.

If even half of the material is found to be truthful it's quite mind boggling how Trump exploited his personal business network links in Russia to gain presidency.

a true spy novel still unfolding in front of us.

if you are trying to piece together, Trump and Russia this is a vital book because its not so USA heavy based as most other books are, giving you a food over view of Russias behavior without to many American name to confuse you. Great for the British audience who are trying to find out what's behind Trump, Russia and Brexit.

Absolutely excellent. Mr Harding has pulled together a phenomenal amount of material from a wide range of sources, and made it into a coherent narrative. A must-read for anyone interested in the current worrying confusion and disintegration of American and global politics. Highly recommended.

A Factual Spy Thriller

"Follow sex and money" in an attempt to ascertain why and how Trump became the president of America . . . This book is so fascinating, it listens as a well - paced spy thriller, though it is a real life and fact based political story. Evidently, Putin's regime tilted the results of presidential elections in US, thus getting an unlikely, semi-literate self-publicist Trump elected. The story is brilliantly investigated and written in a fascinating and gripping way. Every politically aware American must listen to this story. As well as every Westerner, as it so alarmingly uncovers hidden and wide spread tentacles of Russia, its growing and often hidden, hard to detect meddling in the politics of democratic world.
A clear and crisp narration, very easy to listen.

Brilliant and Timely

A Brilliant and timely piece of journalism. A must read that gives an insight into not only what has happened in the US but what I'd probably taking place within the EU too.
