About the book
Bill Browder's memoir follows his route from Chicago's South Side and Stanford Business School into 1990s hedge fund investing, and then to Moscow, where he ran the largest investment fund in post-Soviet Russia. When he exposed oligarchs who were stripping the companies his fund held, Vladimir Putin turned on him and he was expelled in 2005. Two years later officers raided his Moscow offices and took $230 million in taxes his fund's companies had paid to the government. His lawyer Sergei Magnitsky traced the fraud and testified against the officials, then was arrested, tortured in pre-trial detention and beaten to death in November 2009. It also records Browder's campaign for justice in Magnitsky's name.
Eric Ries, founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, said it reads like a thriller while giving an urgent warning about Putin's Russia and the events behind the Magnitsky Act.

This reads like a thriller, but is an urgent and important story about the dangers of Putin’s Russia and the events leading to the Magnitsky Act.
