New Book 'Survival' Exposes Putin's Covert War on U.S. Democracy

Bestselling author Elizabeth Graham has released a new book, Survival - Democracy's Struggle To Survive, co-authored with eight leading experts on Donald Trump, including Craig Unger, David Andelman, Charles Sykes, Steven Beschloss, Dr. Bandy Lee, George A. Polisner, and Mersault. The book, available at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Elizabeth-Graham/author/B0CMY189NT, delves into the Trump/Russia connection and the hidden threats to American democracy. Graham, who lived in Moscow during the Soviet collapse, argues that Putin and his KGB colleagues launched a covert campaign to weaken the U.S. from within after realizing Russia could not defeat America militarily. The book claims that the CIA, believing the Cold War was over, shut down over thirty overseas intelligence operations and reduced Russian specialists by more than 25%, leaving the U.S. vulnerable. It asserts that Putin's efforts have quietly influenced every aspect of American government and society, and that many Americans and the media overlook this interference due to a stubborn delusion that Trump is not aligned with Putin.

The release highlights contributions from Craig Unger, who has provided evidence that Trump is 'owned' by Putin/Russia, and Dr. Bandy Lee, a forensic psychiatrist and editor of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. The book also draws on The Fourth World War by Count de Marenches and David Andelman, warning of a deadly war that could end Western civilization. Survival contrasts the daily suffering of Ukrainians under bombardment with the largely uninformed or denial state of Americans, listing symptoms such as rising gas prices, loss of healthcare for ten million Americans in 2026, contaminated foods, an endless war costing nearly $2 billion per day, grocery store closures, restaurant closures like Wendy's and Village Inn, discrimination and deaths through ICE and USAID closure, assaults on elections with bomb threats traced to Russian IP addresses, and fires/arson/bombings including a South Carolina judge's house fire and a Tennessee munitions plant explosion that killed 16 employees. The book concludes that Ukraine and American democracy face a common enemy, and urges Americans to draw strength from the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Graham's personal motivation includes the unsolved homicide of her daughter in Japan, which she believes may have been a Russian poisoning.
