Getting Trumped: How the Russians Conquered America Without Firing a Shot
Our country just experienced the most blatant attack since 9/11 but we’re doing nothing to defend ourselves. Nationally known historian, Bil Richardson explains why and how the Russians attacked us and provides strategies for what we can do to fight back. The Russians spent tens of millions of dollars to change the outcome of the last election and they are getting ready to do it again. The cyber world is the battlefield of the 21st century and if we continue to show weakness the Russians will not stop.
They have the power to come after critical infrastructure like nuclear power plants and our bank accounts. Getting Trumped uses a highly visual approach to tell this complex story and make it easy to follow and understand.
The Russians are masters at espionage and deception. The most recent assault is just the 21st century extension of what they’ve been perfecting since the beginning of the Soviet Union. The goal of this book is to turn Russian disinformation tools against them. It takes Soviet and other propaganda art and uses it to expose the Russian strategy for undermining the democratic foundations of our country.
First there was, The Plot to Hack America. Then there was, Fire and Fury. Now, Getting Trumped reveals just how far the Russians went to undermine our democracy and help elect Donald Trump President.
Bil Richardson brings you this unique approach to the cyber invasion of America by its oldest foe. Professor Richardson is best known as a world class expert on the Hatfield McCoy Feud and other historical events. He has appeared on NPR’s All Things Considered and numerous television shows CBS This Morning, CBS Sunday Morning, Mysteries at the Museum, Blood Feuds, America Fact vs Fiction, the Discovery Network’s Blood Feuds, the National Geographic Channel’s Diggers and American Pickers. He has been quoted in the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, London Times and hundreds of other newspapers. He also produced a 16 episode series for the History Channel. His work has been supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and is being used by such prestigious universities as Carnegie Mellon, UC Berkeley, Marquette and others. He has published both fiction and non-fiction and created cover art for books, movies, magazines and graphic novels.

Most people want you to be just one thing, but unfortunately I’m not. I work in many genres, many media and many voices. I’m an award-winning filmmaker, an artist, playwright, poet and author. I do humor, horror, poetry, history and more. I create work that is serious, uplifting and explores important questions and I do things that are just pure entertainment. Some of the things I’ve done have been deep and thoughtful, and some just plain silly and fun. If there is a unifying thread, it is that I am a storyteller. And one of the main functions of stories is to aid us in making sense of the world. Stories help us deal with things we are frightened of - whether that’s a creature in the night or death. Stories also help us deal with the cares of life by understanding them or just being distracted from them. Our lives are varied and complex. At times we are happy or sad, challenged or victorious, high or low. So it is not surprising that the things we create should reflect that complexity and diversity. That’s how it is with me. Now if you want information on some of my specific accomplishments then just keep on a readin’.
As a filmmaker I’ve produced feature films, documentaries, commercials and TV series. I’ve appeared on numerous national TV shows including CBS This Morning, CBS Sunday Morning, American Pickers, Nat Geo’s Diggers, Discovery Networks’ Blood Feuds and America: Fact or Fiction and the Travel Channel’s Mysteries at the Museum. My films have been used as teaching tools at such prestigious universities as UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon and Marquette, and are part of the U.S. Library of Congress holdings. I’ve been quoted in the New York Times, USA Today, Washington Post, London Times and hundreds of other newspapers. I’ve published fiction and non-fiction through Random House and other companies. I’ve been a featured speaker nationally and internationally. My work has been supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and I’ve done covers for books, magazines, movies and graphic novels. I’ve even appeared onscreen in four internationally distributed feature films.
