About the Event
Russian influence operations that shift a presidential election! A gas pipeline that could divide Europe! Oligarchs making billions in service to a megalomaniac in the Kremlin! Ripped from the headlines? Maybe, but in this case, they drive the plot of Alex Finley’s latest seriocomic espionage novel, Victor in Trouble. In this month's People, Politics, and Prose, Ronald Granieri is joined by a former officer of the CIA’s Directorate of Operations, Alex Finley to discuss the newest addition to The Victor Caro book series.
People, Politics, and Prose with Ron Granieri features in-depth conversations with authors of recent books on international affairs and national security. Moderated by FPRI’s Ronald J. Granieri, each session will build on the book’s contents to discuss the author’s influences and motivations, relating everything to current events to elicit a broader understanding of the geographical, political, and historical context of our contemporary world.
