With Kafka on the Shore, Haruki Murakami gives us a novel every bit as ambitious and expansive as The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, which has been acclaimed both here and around the world for its uncommon ambition and achievement, and whose still-growing popularity suggests that it will be read and admired for decades to come.

Extremely Good
Revisado: 10-12-18
A bit too far sexually, but the story and the imagery and the weird magical realism come together in ways that make it impossible to put dow. Wven when I'm thinking aboit how I shouldn't be reading this, I just kept reading.

As President Barack Obama's adviser on Russian affairs, Michael McFaul helped craft the United States' policy known as "reset" that fostered new and unprecedented collaboration between the two countries. And then, as US ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014, he had a front-row seat when this fleeting, hopeful moment crumbled with Vladimir Putin's return to the presidency. This riveting inside account combines history and memoir to tell the full story of US-Russia relations from the fall of the Soviet Union to the new rise of the hostile, paranoid Russian president.

Balanced and Knowledgable
Revisado: 08-31-18
Post-Trump there is a worrying amount of prople making wild speculation on equally worrying facts. Something big is going on in Russia, but we're stuck with pundits making baseless claims about how half of the US was brainwashed by Putin himself. This book is essential for getting a more knowledgable insight into what is actually going on from someone who has actually been on the ground. The details about Russian influence will be boiled down to facts in time, and until then this look at the events leading up to this point can help one put those facts into context. The author is clearly pro-democracy like most of us, but he eyes the other side with a level headedness rather than seeing Bond villains under every rock. Buy this book to understand US/Russian relations.

In the greatest intelligence operation in the history of the world, Donald Trump was made president of the United States with the assistance of a foreign power. For the first time, The Plot to Destroy Democracy reveals the dramatic story of how blackmail, espionage, assassination, and psychological warfare were used by Vladimir Putin and his spy agencies to steal the 2016 US election. It will show how Russia and its fifth column allies tried to flip the cornerstones of democracy in order to reengineer the world political order that kept most of the world free since since 1945.

Very poorly researched
Revisado: 08-30-18
This book is just so thick on the propaganda. There are real things that happened, but you won't learn about the Aeroflot hacks and how we learned about Russian interference. You won't learn about the difference between the White Rose Collective and Putin and why they admire Trump and Putin despite Putin's different interests. You won't learn about the rift between the Kremlin and the Russian National Guard, because all motivations described in this book are imagined off of cherry picked facts, and some of the facts are even wrong. He couldn't even get the date of te MH17 disaster right. He imagines one united Russia behind Putin that wants a race war in America. There is more at play here. There are actual reasons the Russians are motivated by different interests for themselves, and they aren't united. There is more than one player beyond Putin. In America there were goals that could at least be rationalized whether you agree with them or not by Mercer, Bannon, Flynn, Navarro, and others and they weren't all the same, and some weren't racist. There is an interesting story here that will chill your bones, but this book just deals so much in imagination with no support that you'll know less after you read it. This is the type of stuff I'd expect from Fox News, it's so poorly researched.
