The definitive, sure to be headline-making, investigation into how Putin successfully mounted a decade-long covert war on the United States and how Donald Trump aided and abetted the operation and upended America and the world.

How Russia Won tells the little-understood yet crucial story of how Vladimir Putin waged a secret campaign to subvert and weaken the United States—and how Trump, his MAGA movement, the Republican Party, and right-wing media have served as useful idiots for the tyrannical Russian leader, allowing him to succeed spectacularly.

David Corn, a bestselling author and seasoned journalist expert in American politics has investigated the story from the beginning of the first Trump Administration through the beginning of his second term. Corn offers fresh reporting and analysis on:

• The direct contacts between Trump aides, including Rudy Giuliani, and Russian intelligence operatives.
• Republican legislators’ and Trump Administration officials’ use of Russian disinformation to defend Trump and smear Democrats.
• The extensive yet little-known Senate report produced by then-Senator Marco Rubio—Trump’s current Secretary of State—that blew apart Trump’s claim the Russia investigation was a hoax.
• The massive propaganda campaign Trump and MAGA Republicans pursued to cover up the truth about Putin’s clandestine intervention in US politics.
• The never-ending effort of Russian operatives to flood America with disinformation spread across social media that boosted Trump’s odds in both the 2020 and 2024 elections.
• The many ties between Trump’s second administration and pro-Putin advocates.
• The business enterprises of the Trump clan and their possible links to Russia.

A compelling narrative with the verve and twists of a spy novel—yet it’s all true—How Russia Won makes crystal clear a truth hard to bear but necessary to see, and it explains a profoundly troubling reality: Putin has beaten America.
