    About this audiobook

    In April 2016, computer technicians at the Democratic National

    Committee discovered that someone had accessed the organization's computer servers and conducted a theft that is best described as Watergate 2.0. In the weeks that followed, the nation's top computer security experts discovered that the cyber thieves had helped themselves to everything: sensitive documents, emails, donor information, even voice mails.

    Soon after, the remainder of the Democratic Party machine, the congressional campaign, the Clinton campaign, and their friends and allies in the media were also hacked. Credit card numbers, phone numbers, and contacts were stolen. In short order, the FBI found that more than 25 state election offices had their voter registration systems probed or attacked by the same hackers.

    Western intelligence agencies tracked the hack to Russian spy agencies and dubbed them the Cyber Bears. The media was soon flooded with the stolen information channeled through Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks. It was a massive attack on America but the Russian hacks appeared to have a singular goal - elect Donald J. Trump as president of the United States.

    New York Times best-selling author and career intelligence officer Malcolm Nance's fast paced real-life spy thriller takes you from Vladimir Putin's rise through the KGB from junior officer to spymaster-in-chief and spells out the story of how he performed the ultimate political manipulation - convincing Donald Trump to abandon 70 years of American foreign policy including the destruction of NATO, cheering the end of the European Union, allowing Russian domination of Eastern Europe, and destroying the existing global order with America at its lead.

    The Plot to Hack America is the thrilling true story of how Putin's spy agency, run by the Russian billionaire class, used the promise of power and influence to cultivate Trump as well as his closest aides, the Kremlin Crew, to become unwitting assets of the Russian government. The goal? To put an end to 240 years of free and fair American democratic elections.

      Malcolm’s ability to describe what happened in real time is incredible!
      This book should be compulsory reading to all intelligence operatives. Thank you Malcolm

      A must-read to understand how fragile the world we know is and how we must be informed and vigilant to not let it slip away.

      Malcom Nance describes the how and the why and did so prior to the 2016 election. Any doubt Russia helped Trump, with or without his knowledge, is answered decisively in this book.

      This is all fiction, the democrats are lyers and it's been proven to be all lies and its all been debunked. TRUMP WON, GET OVER IT!!!

      Starting from the beginning the book seemed inclined towards the idea of Russia intervening in affairs of world and America. Repetitive several times with not much critical analysis on how they hacked into the world's strongest nation. Hilary being unaware of everything also highlights her intelligence failure. Although it gives insights of the election campaigns really well with in depth analysis and 7 steps master plan idea looked relatively possible and close to reality.

      Interesting....although I believe the case against Trump is Hillarys Last Stand.

      A long conspiracy theory that has been debunked. The author failed to mention that the "western intelligence agency" that linked the email hacking to Russia were paid by the DNC and have no credibility. Russia gate is a narrative created by the Democrats to explain their loss to the worst Republican candidate of all time. The only Russians indicted by Mueller ran troll farms to sell products and no one has been indicted for hacking after 2.5 years of investigations. This kind of xenophobic nonsense from authors and journalists who know better is fueling a new cold war and is incredibly unethical. This stuff is no different than Alex Jones and Glenn Beck: lacking in empirical evidence and racist/xenophobic/nationalist.

      Again, BS! GARBAGE AND LIES. I can't even get the Art of The Deal here on scribd, but by golly they have every liberal, anti-American, anti-white, author that ever crawled out of a cave. Yeah, I've got to get rid of Scribd. Commies.

      Always on the mark, the predictions have all rung true and look to do so for the future. Thank you!

      Hilariously ridiculous after Mueller found nothing. The subsequent fact of no collusion, refutes this blinkered ideologue. The author convieniently attempts to shoot the messenger, Heroic Julian Assange, while simultaneously, convieninently, ignoring the nefarious content of the WikiLeaks revelations of rotten to the core of a despicable do-anything, throw-anyone under the bus (understatement in the case of Seth Rich) for Hilary Clintons Dem Party power
