Now the future of Western democracy is at stake, award-winning journalist and author of Shadow State: Murder, Mayhem and Russia’s Remaking of the West, Luke Harding, will be at Words by the Water Literature Festival to share his shocking analysis of the threads between Putin, Trump, Brexit and the dark web.
