“As an American double agent who worked against Russian
intelligence in the US, this book shows how Putin’s spies stop at
nothing.”
—Naveed Jamali, former double agent and author of How to Catch a
Russian Spy
“The Plot to Hack America is an essential primer for anyone wanting
to be fully informed about the unprecedented events surrounding the
2016 U.S. presidential election. Published shortly before the
election, the book still provides the basic framework for
understanding all that came after the election, much of which
corroborates Nance’s claims and speculation. Remember, many people
disputed or downplayed Russian involvement at the time. Subsequent
developments show that Nance, the experienced intelligence
operative, was way ahead of the curve.”
–Michael Lipkin, New York Journal of Books
“If you’ve read books like… Defeating ISIS, you know Malcolm’s
expertise. If you’ve seen his 2007 congressional testimony using
his firsthand experience with waterboarding to call it torture—back
when that was controversial—you know Malcolm’s integrity. And if
you’ve spent any time with his fellow Navy chiefs, you know
Malcolm’s bluntness. It’s worth scrutinizing this bizarre episode
in American politics and security. It’s unlikely to be a one-off
event. After all, bears tend to go where they want—unless something
stops them.”
–Spencer Ackerman, US National Security Editor, The Guardian, from
his foreword
“Every single assertion Nance offers is backed by material from the
PUBLIC record, clearly documented in end notes.”
–Kenneth J. Bernstein, Daily Kos
“The Plot to Hack America reads like a spy thriller, but it’s all
too real.”
–US Daily Review
“If you had read this book as I did in November 2016 after Trump’s
surprising, even to him, election, you would have known all this
and all the characters now appearing who were in the Trump orbit
and campaign… Thanks to the hero of the day, Malcolm Nance, we all
now see where Mueller’s investigation is going and how its widening
net includes interviewing White House insiders and Trump’s family
members... By reading this book, at the urging of some of my key
European advisors, I was forewarned of exactly how the Internet and
all our media would be used by the Kremlin hackers to exploit the
gullibility of US voters, so as to create today’s confusion and
further divisions in our society.”
–Hazel Henderson, Ethical Markets
*** Praise for Malcolm Nance's New York Times bestselling Defeating
ISIS ***
“I really think the [2016 Presidential] candidates ought to read
this... You should buy this book.”
—Rachel Maddow, The Rachel Maddow Show, MSNBC
“A comprehensive, authoritative, and detailed compendium on the
Islamic State (ISIS).”
—Perspectives on Terrorism
“In his detailed and informed study Nance argues that, in effect,
America's War on Terror created a new breed of vicious terrorists
who wear the mask of Islam like actors in a Kabuki theatre while
carrying out horrifically un-Islamic acts.”
—Richard Engel, Chief Foreign Correspondent, NBC News, from his
foreword
*** On the Russian Hacking ***
“Putin and the leaders throughout the world have no respect for our
country anymore and they certainly have no respect for our
leader.”
— Donald Trump, President of the United States of America
“We know that Russian intelligence services hacked into the DNC and
we know that they arranged for a lot of those emails to be
released… But I think laying out the facts raises serious issues
about Russian interference in our elections, in our democracy.”
—Hillary Clinton, Democratic presidential candidate and former
Secretary of State
“What we do know is that the Russians hack our systems. Not just
government systems, but private systems.”
—Barack Obama, former President of the United States of America
*** Russia’s Response ***
“I wouldn’t know anything about it. You know, there are so many
hackers today and they work with such finesse, planting a trail
where and when they need… It’s difficult to trace, if even
possible... The important thing here is what the public was shown…
One shouldn’t draw the public attention from the core of the issue
by replacing it with secondary details like who did it.”
—Vladimir Putin, Russian President
“Overall, we still see attempts to use—manically use—the Russian
issue during the US electoral campaign. . . . The absurd claims
were immediately refuted directly by a presidential candidate’s
family.”
—Dmitry Peskov,Russian government spokesman
*** Praise for Skyhorse Publishing ***
“In the era of corporate dominated mainstream media and feckless
herd reporting, Skyhorse's willingness to tackle tough issues that
other publishers won't touch has made it a critical cog in our
democracy.”
–Robert F. Kennedy Jr., New York Times bestselling author
