If it was unprecedented because it just seemed it seemed maybe um it seemed to maybe too simplistic to say that Russia interfering with American elections was unprecedented and so I I found this this guy named David shimer a historian and foreign policy analyst who had just written this book called rigged.
Why people recommend it
Rigged by David Shimer is a non-fiction book that examines the history and mechanics of foreign interference in American elections through the lens of national security and intelligence. Jordan Harbinger recommended the book on The Jordan Harbinger Show following an interview with the author, noting how interesting the work was and providing links to it in the show notes for listeners. Additionally, Jason Feifer discussed the publication on the a16z Podcast, explaining how he had discovered David Shimer while investigating claims surrounding Russian interference in American elections. Feifer described Shimer as a historian and foreign policy analyst who had written the book precisely because dismissing foreign interference as completely unprecedented felt far too simplistic. Both podcast appearances highlighted the book's relevance to understanding modern geopolitics, cybersecurity, and the ongoing vulnerabilities inherent in democratic electoral systems. Readers drawn to investigative journalism, political history, and international relations often turn to this work for a comprehensive, deeply researched account of how foreign adversaries attempt to manipulate American politics and destabilize democratic institutions.
