A New York Times bestseller: "[Red Notice] does for investing in Russia and the former Soviet Union what Liars Poker did for our understanding of Salomon Brothers, Wall Street, and the mortgage-backed securities business in the 1980s. Browders business saga meshes well with the story of corruption and murder in Vladimir Putins Russia, making Red Notice an early candidate for any list of the years 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 wasnt 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 decade on a campaign to expose it. Because of that, he became Putins number one enemy, especially after Browder succeeded in having a law passed in the United States that punishes a list of Russians implicated in the lawyers murder. Putin famously retaliated with a law that bans Americans from adopting Russian orphans.

A financial caper, a crime thriller, and a political crusade, Red Notice is the story of one man taking on overpowering odds to change the world, and also the story of how, without intending to, he found meaning in his life.

Review
"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 its all true." (Lee Child, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series)

"The first half of Red Notice traces Browders improbable journey from prep-school washout through college, business school, and a series of consulting and Wall Street jobs before becoming Russias largest foreign investor....This book-within-a-book does for investing in Russia and the former Soviet Union what Liars Poker did for our understanding of Salomon Brothers, Wall Street, and the mortgage-backed securities business in the 1980s. Browders business saga meshes well with the story of corruption and murder in Vladimir Putins Russia, making Red Notice an early candidate for any list of the years best books." (Norman Pearlstine Fortune)

"The story of Sergei Magnitskys life and death is a shocking true-life thriller, and Bill Browder was the man to write it." (Tom Stoppard)

"In Red Notice, Bill Browder tells the harrowing and inspiring story of how his fight for justice in Russia made him an unlikely international human rights leader and Vladimir Putins number-one enemy. It is the book for anyone interested in understanding the culture of corruption and impunity in Putins Russia today, and Browders heroic example of how to fight back." (Senator John McCain)

"This book reads like a thriller, but its a true, important, and inspiring real story. Bill Browder is an amazing moral crusader, and his book is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand Russia, Putin, or the challenges of doing business in the world today." (Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs and The Innovators)

"A fascinating and unexpected story." (Mitch Albom, author of Tuesdays with Morrie)

"Browders true story is a heart-in-your-throat page turner, and the only close-up look I know of what its like to take on Putin. It is also a moving account of a man who found his calling, and ended up winning in the end." (Bryan Burrough, co-author of Barbarians at the Gate and author of Public Enemies and The Big Rich)

"A fascinating, heart-stopping account of how to take on Putin--and win. Its exciting to read about Browders roller-coaster ride to wealth in Russia, and to learn how his compassion for Sergei Magnitsky, his murdered lawyer, inspired his memorable struggle against the venal apparatchiks of a corrupt state. This is the gripping--and absolutely true--story behind the Magnitsky Law, a signal advance in human rights." (Geoffrey Robertson, human rights lawyer and author of Crimes Against Humanity: The Struggle For Global Justice)

"This indispensable look at the brutal realities of the Putin regime is of even greater relevance thanks to Bill Browders unique expertise and personal experience inside the belly of the beast." (Garry Kasparov, Chess Grandmaster and author of How Life Imitates Chess)

"Bill Browder has become one of the most sincerely hated men in the Kremlin over the years--and that is something to be incredibly proud of. . . . This book shows the difference that one person can make when they refuse to back down, as told by a fellow soldier in the battle to hold Putin to account." (Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alekhina, members of Pussy Riot)

"Browders narrative lays out in vivid detail the often murky mechanisms of Russias kleptocratic economy, culminating in an engrossing account of what would surely be the heist of the century were it not so representative of business as usual.  Its also a chilling, sinister portrait of a society in which the rule of law has been destroyed by those sworn to enforce it.  The result is an alternately harrowing and inspiring saga of appalling crime and undeserved punishment in the Wild East." (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

"An almost unbelievable tale . . . well-paced, heartfelt . . . It may be that 'Russian stories never have happy endings, but Browders account more than compensates by ferociously unmasking Putins thugocracy." (Kirkus Reviews)

"[Browders] freewheeling, snappy book describes the meteoric rise, and disastrous fall, of a buccaneer capitalist who crossed the wrong people and paid a steep price. . . The high stakes make for a zesty tale." (New York Times)

"[A] riveting account of Browders journey through the early years of Russian capitalism….Begins as a bildungsroman and ends as Greek tragedy…. 'Russian stories never have happy endings, Magnitsky tells Browder, in the books most memorable line. Perhaps not, but they do have inspiring ones." (The Washington Post)

"A swashbuckling story thats been justly compared with Michael Lewiss Liars Poker." (Vulture)

"In his new book, Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Mans Fight for Justice, Bill Browder writes the way he talks—which is always a good strategy. His autobiography is bracing, direct and honest, with only a little less swearing than you encounter in person. It is both a political thriller and an argument for morality in foreign policy that he could never have expected to make when he began his roaring career in finance." (The Daily Beast)

"Bill Browder, the unexpected hero and author of this suspenseful memoir, is no ordinary investment banker. . . . It is fascinating to follow him as he navigates the kleptocratic Russian economy. . . Most of the story is about finance, revolving around things like valuation anomalies and share dilutions, and all of it comes surprisingly alive." (Boston Globe)

"I dont know anything about investment banking except what Browder has taught me in Red Notice, yet as a reader I was fully engaged by the books monumental presentation of the risks, rewards, and personal and financial dangers of doing business in Russia....An unusually affecting book...What Browder says he intends to do now is to carry on creating a legacy for Sergei [Magnitsky] and pursuing justice for his family. A book as resounding as Red Notice may be a step in that direction." (Christian Science Monitor)

"Its a riveting account--and really, how could it not be?...Engrossing." (The New York Times Book Review)

"An impassioned personal broadside against the Kremlin." (Financial Times)

"A jaw-dropping account." (The Bookseller (UK))

"A sizzling account of Mr. Browders rise, fall and metamorphosis from bombastic financier to renowned human-rights activist." (The Economist (UK))

"Rattling through the high-finance world of New York and London, and then on to the seedier side of life in Moscow, Red Notice sometimes stretches credulity. But just as Browder really is a hedge fund manager turned human rights activist, so this story of courage combined with a dash of obsessiveness is about the real here and now. . . . He reminds us that heroism sometimes lies in unlikely places. Browder deserves our respect." (The Independent (UK))

"A gripping read…fascinating." (Management Times (UK))

"Fast-paced… It is a story worth reading for anyone interested in Russia, but also for those contemplating business or life opportunities in regions where Western ethics do not apply." (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

"Browders book is, to my knowledge, the first unveiling of the intrinsically mafia-like nature of Putinism in all its breathtaking scope and horror." (The Huffington Post)
