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?
In 1917, a band of communist revolutionaries stormed the Winter Palace of Tsar Nicholas II-a dramatic and explosive act marking that Vladimir Lenin's communist revolution was now underway. But Lenin would not be satisfied with overthrowing the Tsar. His goal was a global revolt that would topple all Western capitalist regimes-starting with the British Empire. Russian Roulette tells the spectacular and harrowing story of the British spies in revolutionary Russia and their mission to stop Lenin's red tide from washing across the free world. They were an eccentric cast of characters, led by Mansfield Cumming, a one-legged, monocle-wearing former sea captain, and included novelist W. Somerset Maugham, beloved children's author Arthur Ransome, and the dashing, ice-cool Sidney Reilly, the legendary Ace of Spies and a model for Ian Fleming's James Bond. Cumming's network would pioneer the field of covert action and would one day become MI6. Living in disguise, constantly switching identities, they infiltrated Soviet commissariats, the Red Army, and Cheka (the feared secret police), and would come within a whisker of assassinating Lenin. In a sequence of bold exploits that stretched from Moscow to the central Asian city of Tashkent, this unlikely band of agents succeeded in foiling Lenin's plot for global revolution.

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.

Life After Russian Roulette by Michael B. Kaminski Pdf
“My tired, bloodshot eyes focused on the dark reflection of the man staring back at me. I strained to visualize and reconcile with the person I had become years ago. Bloodstained faces of all the people I had hurt and destroyed in years of undercover work in drug groups and organized crime associations flooded my mind. However, what still haunted me the most was the shooting of one man that we justified as cops. Now, here I was in seminary preparing for final graduation and future ordination. It was like looking into the eyes of a stranger. My life became a labyrinth of distorted loyalties and false realities as an undercover police detective. What I had believed at one time in life about right and wrong, morals and ethics, was now as grey, dirty and hazy as the mirror I was looking into – like painful reflections of my life. I wanted to kill the man that controlled my mind, my body, my soul and my life. I wanted the game to end.” This is a true story based on actual events. My story begins during a long and lonely night in a dingy dorm room in seminary as I contemplated my past and the dark figures – lives that still tormented me from years of undercover assignments as a police officer and detective. Suicide, numbed cold by the warmth of brandy, appeared to be the only solution to finally end the nightmares which drove me toward a desire for ordination. The series of events that follow that long night will take the reader on a winding course of exploration and confrontation through the early days of the police academy, the streets of Western District in Baltimore City, a history making police strike, undercover in drug groups and organized crime, the Pagans motorcycle gang, the docks of the Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore and eventually a shooting that affected my mind, body and soul. After resigning from the police department and working as a private investigator for defense attorneys who had defended most of the people I arrested as a police detective, I find myself detained in the Russian embassy in Washington, D.C. I was running from the reality of life, unsure of the destination. Eventually, after ordination and struggling spiritually to find my faith working in parish ministry, I finally find the one blessing from God that I was searching for most of my life – LOVE. With Sharon, I come to know, understand, feel and find a power of love that transcends all physical forms that most people define love. I find a level of love that was not limited to physical, sexual desires like all my past relationships. However, this love, Sharon, will eventually be taken from me. At first glance, you might think you know how police and undercover detectives work, but you could be dead wrong. Hidden within the plot of this story is a series of inner conflicts, moral and ethical dilemmas and choices that many people in law enforcement make in the line of duty. How an individual enforces the law, many times, is reduced to personal decisions. When you chose to cross the line, when you justify that wrong is right – you walk a very dangerous path in life. Then you deal with the consequences as you wrestle with your conscience. I only hope that, in the end, the reader will find what I continue to seek and search for in life – peace, love and enlightenment.
'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

"THE BOOK CHINA DOESN'T WANT YOU TO READ."--CNN A riveting insider's story of how the Party and big money work in China today, by a man who, with his wife, Whitney Duan, rose to the zenith of power and wealth--and then fell out of favor. She was disappeared four years ago. News of this book led to a phone call from Whitney, proof that she's alive. As Desmond Shum was growing up impoverished in China, he vowed his life would be different. Through hard work and sheer tenacity he earned an American college degree and returned to his native country to establish himself in business. There, he met his future wife, the highly intelligent and equally ambitious Whitney Duan who was determined to make her mark within China's male-dominated society. Whitney and Desmond formed an effective team and, aided by relationships they formed with top members of China's Communist Party, the so-called red aristocracy, he vaulted into China's billionaire class. Soon they were developing the massive air cargo facility at Beijing International Airport, and they followed that feat with the creation of one of Beijing's premier hotels. They were dazzlingly successful, traveling in private jets, funding multi-million-dollar buildings and endowments, and purchasing expensive homes, vehicles, and art. But in 2017, their fates diverged irrevocably when Desmond, while residing overseas with his son, learned that his now ex-wife Whitney had vanished along with three coworkers. This is both Desmond's story and Whitney's, because she has not been able to tell it herself.

To catch the worst criminals, we had to become criminals ourselves. This moral downslide leads to depression, suicidal thoughts, and mentally destructive actions as I numbed my feelings with increased addiction to alcohol. After suspension and resignation from the force, the ghosts continued to haunt me. The thought of death became my only escape from the hell I created. Eventually, a near fatal accident almost ended my life. High on morphine in a hospital, I would make a commitment to God for saving my life. I would enter seminary, receive ordination, and enter parish ministry. Still struggling spiritually to find my faith, I would finally find the one blessing I had been searching for all my life-love.

There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. In Rawi Hage's unforgettable novel, winner of the 2008 IMPAC Prize, this famous quote by Camus becomes a touchstone for two young men caught in Lebanon's civil war. Bassam and George are childhood best friends who have grown to adulthood in war torn Beirut. Now they must choose their futures: to stay in the city and consolidate power through crime; or to go into exile abroad, alienated from the only existence they have known. Bassam chooses one path: obsessed with leaving Beirut, he embarks on a series of petty crimes to finance his departure. Meanwhile, George builds his power in the underworld of the city and embraces a life of military service, crime for profit, killing, and drugs. Told in the voice of Bassam, De Niro's Game is a beautiful, explosive portrait of a contemporary young man shaped by a lifelong experience of war. Rawi Hage's brilliant style mimics a world gone mad: so smooth and apparently sane that its razor-sharp edges surprise and cut deeply. A powerful meditation on life and death in a war zone, and what comes after.
