Review of Butler to the World: How Britain Helps the World’s Worst People Launder Money, Commit Crimes, and Get Away with Anything C/O Futures Book Review Series Kevin Hammill 22 August 2022
Oliver Bullough is a Welsh journalist and writer who is a regular contributor to The Guardian and whose works include Moneyland: The Inside Story of the Crooks and Kleptocrats Who Rule the World (St. Martin’s Press, 2019) and The Last Man in Russia: The Struggle to Save a Dying Nation (Basic Books, 2013). In Butler to the World: How Britain Helps the World’s Worst People Launder Money, Commit Crimes, and Get Away with Anything, he takes the cynical wit, and incredible investigative journalism found in his central London kleptocracy tours and brings it to his writing. In the book, he expands upon the bleak present-day scenario he leads tourists through to showcase the 70-year history of Britain’s finding its place in a world that had set upon its empire. Despite this desolate history, Bullough finds places to insert humor and wit, making a detailed history
extremely readable.
