About this product

Product Information

The definitive history of the covert struggle between Russia and America to influence elections, why the threat to American democracy is greater than ever, and what we can do about it. This is "the first book to put the story of Russian interference into a broader context.... Extraordinary and gripping" ( The New York Times Book Review ). Russia's interference in the 2016 elections marked only the latest chapter of a hidden and revelatory history. In Rigged , David Shimer tells the sweeping story of covert electoral interference past and present. He exposes decades of secret operations--by the KGB, the CIA, and Vladimir Putin's Russia--to shape electoral outcomes, melding deep historical research with groundbreaking interviews with more than 130 key players, from leading officials in both the Trump and Obama administrations to CIA and NSA directors to a former KGB general. Throughout history and in 2016, both Russian and American operations achieved their greatest success by influencing the way voters think, rather than tampering with actual vote tallies. Understanding 2016 as one battle in a much longer war is essential to comprehending the critical threat currently posed to America's electoral sovereignty and how to defend against it. Illuminating how the lessons of the past can be used to protect our democracy in the future, Rigged is an essential book for readers of every political persuasion.

Reviews

"This is a brilliant, eye-opening, and riveting book. Shimer's analysis of foreign interference in elections, historical and contemporary, is unmatched. It should be the baseline for any future discussions about this urgent threat to our democracy." --Jake Sullivan, Former Director of Policy Planning, State Department "'Election interference' by one country into another is a subject that inspires speculation and conspiracy theory. David Shimer's Rigged establishes the facts: when and why have Russians and Americans meddled in the politics of other countries - and of one another. Based on a wide range of sources, this book is an excellent resource for people who want to know what actually happened, and not just what was rumored. --Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gulag "This pioneering and judicious history of foreign intervention in elections should be read by everyone who wants to defend democracy now." --Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny, "Provocative and well-sourced... This incisive treatise lays bare the monumental task of countering foreign interference in the 2020 election." -- Publishers Weekly "This pioneering and judicious history of foreign intervention in elections should be read by everyone who wants to defend democracy now." --Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny "As a CIA operations officer, I served through the most complicated periods of the Cold War. David Shimer's book Rigged gives a riveting account of that traumatic period. Shimer knows why and how we engaged in covert action, and what we were up against. He also knows the policies we must modify, if we are to succeed in the 2020s. This is a truly significant book; by all means, read it." --Ambassador Donald Gregg, Former CIA Station Chief and National Security Advisor to VP George H.W. Bush " Rigged provides a fascinating window into the shadowy world of covert election interference -- and Shimer illuminates how it produces lasting, if sometimes unintended, consequences." --Brian Klaas, Washington Post columnist and author of How to Rig an Election "With clear prose and rigorous argument, David Shimer helps us understand the historical backdrop of Russia's ongoing electoral interference. It is a sobering story - and a timely reminder of the importance of addressing the vulnerabilities and dysfunctions on which resourceful adversaries like Putin will continue to prey." - Ambassador William J. Burns, President, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State "This is a brilliant, eye-opening, and riveting book. Shimer's analysis of foreign interference in elections, historical and contemporary, is unmatched. It should be the baseline for any future discussions about this urgent threat to our democracy." --Jake Sullivan, Former Director of Policy Planning, State Department "'Election interference' by one country into another is a subject that inspires speculation and conspiracy theory.

David Shimer provides a clear-eyed, highly readable, meticulous history of foreign electoral interference, in which revelations abound. It is an indispensable book that is very timely and very relevant, especially as we approach the elections of 2020. Readers won't be able to put it down." --General (Ret.) David Petraeus, former Director of the CIA and Commander of Coalition Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan "[An] authoritative book... His section about the torturous deliberations within President Obama's administration about how to respond to Russia's active measures is comprehensive to the point of encyclopedic... fascinating reading." --Philip Ewing, NPR "Provocative and well-sourced... This incisive treatise lays bare the monumental task of countering foreign interference in the 2020 election." -- Publishers Weekly "This pioneering and judicious history of foreign intervention in elections should be read by everyone who wants to defend democracy now." --Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny "As a CIA operations officer, I served through the most complicated periods of the Cold War.
