An Astounding True Tale
Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice
Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice by Bill Browder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Red Notice is one of the most engrossing books I've ever read. Not only is it one of those books you simply can't put down, it's also a searing tale of heroism and the search for justice against all odds. And this astounding story is all true.
Author Bill Browder's transformation from outlier newbie in the hectic world of Wall Street trading, to owner of one of the most successful hedge funds in the world (the Hermitage Fund based in Moscow), to crusader for justice for his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, who was falsely arrested by corrupt Russian authorities, tortured in prison and eventually murdered, is the stuff of a classic hero's journey.
Browder went on to tirelessly lobby US officials to pass a new law, the Magnitsky Act, to hit the Russians where it hurt Putin's oligarchs the most: financially. It worked.
Give yourself a treat and read Browder's story. As Andrew Ross Sorkin said in his New York Times review of the book, it's "Part John Grisham-like thriller, part business and political memoir." And absolutely riveting.
