Editorial : "Hard to put down Red Notice is part John Grisham-like thriller, part business and political memoir." (Andrew Ross Sorkin New York Times)
“Reads like a classic thriller, with an everyman hero alone and in danger in a hostile foreign city but it’s all true.” (Lee Child, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series)
"The first half of Red Notice traces Browder’s improbable journey from prep-school washout through college, business school, and a series of consulting and Wall Street jobs before becoming Russia’s largest foreign investor.This book-within-a-book does for investing in Russia and the former Soviet Union what Liar’s Poker did for our understanding of Salomon Brothers, Wall Street, and the mortgage-backed securities business in the 1980s. Browder’s business saga meshes well with the story of corruption and murder in Vladimir Putin’s Russia, making Red Notice an early candida
A New York Times bestseller: “Red Notice does for investing in Russia and the former Soviet Union what Liar’s Poker did for our understanding of Salomon Brothers, Wall Street, and the mortgage-backed securities business in the 1980s. Browder’s business saga meshes well with the story of corruption and murder in Vladimir Putin’s Russia, making Red Notice an early candidate for any list of the year’s best books” (Fortune).This is a story about an accidental activist. Bill Browder started out his adult life as the Wall Street maverick whose instincts led him to Russia just after the breakup of the Soviet Union, where he made his fortune.Along the way he exposed corruption, and when he did, he barely escaped with his life. His Russian lawyer wasn’t so lucky: he ended up in jail, where he was tortured to death. That changed Browder forever. He saw the murderous heart of the Putin regime and has spent the last half
He seems to have been a genuinely good guy in all respects. Although I think everybody there is corruption and greed in US politics, it in no way compares to that of Russia.
Bill Browder has an excellent writing style that draws you into the story and can make even seemingly mundane things like investigating companies to see whether they are a good investment or not into riveting pieces of the overall story. The same is true for the students who study the material - they too become excellent critics.
Highly recommended for teachers and students of all levels in art and design (advanced high school, and all college levels).. Bill Browder has written a remarkable and compelling book.
Red Notice is the story of Bill Browder's hedge fund, Hermitage Capital, which at one time was the largest foreign investor in Russia. Chapter by chapter Bowlby lays out the facts of Darwin's life and then interprets them from a psychiatrist's point of view. I found the story
