Description
In this gripping work of investigative journalism, a web of mercenaries, royals, assassins, and powerful business figures reveals how covert alliances can shape events far beyond the halls of government. Tracing a secretive slush fund and the international networks surrounding it, the book connects seemingly isolated scandals across the Middle East, the United States, and the wider world. With meticulous reporting and the momentum of a thriller, it examines the corruption, impunity, and assaults on democracy hidden behind modern foreign policy. The result is a startling reassessment of recent history—and a powerful reminder that truth can be stranger than fiction.
