Vladimir Putin probably ordered the polonium poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko. That's the conclusion of a January 2016 official British inquiry report. But that allegation is nothing new. It was first articulated by Boris Berezovsky in 2006. He was a fugitive Russian oligarch living in London while waging a massive misinformation campaign against Putin. Berezovsky's admitted aim was to destabilize Russia and oust Putin. Litvinenko was his front man. "The Phony Litvinenko Murder" offers proof that the story advanced by Berezovsky was fabricated and lacked the benefit of any factual evidence. Author William Dunkerley goes headline-by-headline through media reports and shows clearly that they do not correspond with known facts. Dunkerley is regarded internationally as a prime expert on the false narrative about Litvinenko. He was commissioned in 2007 by the International Federation of Journalists to analyze the media coverage of the Litvinenko affair. Dunkerley presented his peer-reviewed findings at the organization's World Congress that same year. "The Phony Litvinenko Murder" reports what he said, and extends the story to the long-delayed opening of the official inquest into Litvinenko's death in 2011. It explains through concrete example how gross fabrications were successfully turned into the mainstream storyline that still predominates today. Dunkerley says that he does not know whether or not Putin is to blame. But, he says "it is concerning that the efforts to convince others of Putin's culpability have been founded merely upon fabrications pushed by people with their own agenda." With the Litvinenko story still popping up in the news today, "The Phony Litvinenko Murder" is a must read. It will help you to understand who you can believe and who you can't. The book will open your eyes to a story within the story that will amaze you. "Also of interest: "Litvinenko Murder Case Solved" by William Dunkerley (http: //amzn.to/1mrtEy6).
