Red Notice is a one of a kind book. At first glance I had no idea what to expect, but the cover says it all. This true story will make you question Russia's antics beyond belief. Bill Browder's fight for justice is astonishing. Russia's transformation to capitalism might've been a favorable situation for an American investor, but the oligarchs never lost power. Sergei died as a martyr when he was just a tax fraud lawyer. His story as long as others hold truth to the corruption that festers inside of the Russian borders.
