Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice by Bill Browder

4.0

This was a very good read on the realities of Russia in the last 30 years. However there were some things that irked me. Browder’s lack of self-reflection one of them. Another is his condescending patriarchical writing style. This was especially evident when he described his interactions with his family (particularly his first afire). One that stands out in particular is a sentence about Bianca Jagger. Instead of saying she is a respected human rights activist, he qualifies it by first stating she is the ex-wife of Mick Jagger. Her relationship with Jagger is irrelevant to the book and acts to dilute her credibility as a human rights activist.
