Do you know Bill Browder's REAL story?Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice by Bill Browder draws readers into the unfamiliar territory of the former Soviet Union. The first chapter rapidly creates tension and intrigue, and then the author pulls back and begins with his own life story before slowly building to the climax. What follows is a breathtaking expose of corruption, torture, and murder against the backdrop of the cutthroat world of international investing. The book fits the creative nonfiction genre because Browder employs the typically fiction-driven narrative arc with lengthy exposition and a stunning climax. One clue to the genre is Bill's recreation of lengthy conversations, physical descriptions of people and places, and the use of a timepiece to drive tension. Chapter one, "Persona Non Grata," places the reader during a smoky, gaudy area with nothing however a ticker to tick away fifteen hours of detainment. Once Bill concludes his first, high-action chapter, he rewinds time to tell his grandfather's story. The story grinds slowly through Bill's father's life, then Bill's. Excitement only resumes once Bill runs into his first scandal while working at Maxwell Communications. His career trajectory takes him across Europe, and he finally settles in Moscow, Russia. At times, Bill's level of naivete about Russian corruption defies belief. He cannot conceive of a reason for any official to bribe, cheat, or steal even with evidence of each. He creates a careful persona of the shy, unassuming American with rose-colored glasses who becomes a folk hero. At the same time, he reveals a razor-sharp mind that focuses on a company's vulnerabilities and exploits them for profit. He complains about the oligarchy manipulating Russia's voucher system to get rich; meanwhile, he seems unaware that he has just done the same. Bill is a numbers man, and his numbers make him very wealthy. That is not to say his story rings false. On the contrary, the case against the Interior Ministry, the Russian prison system, tax officials, and Vladimir Putin strikes the reader as incontestable. Browder steps cautiously from one piece of evidence to the next, does not shy away from naming names, and includes enough information for an interested reader to locate the evidence on the Internet. 1) A detailed chapter-by-chapter summary that condenses the whole book! 2) References and further readings based on Browder's case! 3) A page of engaging discussion questions! 4) The REAL story about what is happening! and so much more!
