Kirkus Professional Book Reviewers said: "Graham's new book is an intriguing and informative ‘must read’ from a woman who is probably the best-informed American on the terrifying realities concerning Vladimir Putin's motivations and his control over Trump. It is a warning to all Americans."
Bestselling author Elizabeth Graham believes the closure of USAID, which may result in the potential deaths of millions of Africans is deliberate – Trunp’s bigotry against Blacks. Her book, 'From Democracy To Democrazy: A Warning To All Americans' presents startling information regarding Putin's attempt to destroy American democracy from within. The eBook version will be available at no charge November 25, 2025 at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Elizabeth-Graham/author/B0CMY189NT?.
Graham had a Top-Secret Security Clearance while a senior in high school, and immediately upon graduation began working undercover with the CIA. She later joined the SAIC's Foreign Systems Research Center (FSRC) for 12 years. Eight of these years were spent studying Russia and Russian, and she managed the largest Russian-language military, technical and intelligence data base/library in the U.S. She began to travel to the Soviet Union and then became one of the very few Americans to move to the USSR. She lived under Communism in the Soviet Union, then Russia, and Central Asia long enough to become bi-cultural - she became Russian. Her first-hand knowledge and understanding of life in a communist or dictatorship country is shared with Americans in her book and in her Substack by the same name (egraham.substack.com). In a recent Substack post titled, 'Crimes Against Humanity,' she wrote in part:
The unbelievable horrors of Auschwitz are recurring in 2025 - not the same methodology, but with the same intent of extermination.
America in a post-American world and with Mr. Trump’s malfunctioning leadership is gathering storms while fueling hostilities. “Trump’s approach is solipsism masquerading as strategy.” (*Foreign Affairs, June/August 2025) NATO and allies are placating the United States, at the same time they increase their own military budgets. “After all, they might come to loathe and distrust Mr. Trump’s America, but not as much as they already distrust China and Russia.” (Ibid) Trump’s bombing of boats in the Caribbean is viewed as “murder” by many other nations. “since there has been no provocation or proof of drug trafficking. His threats of invading Canada and Greenland have turned former American allies into adversaries. And the long-standing malevolence with Iran has solidified since his “unauthorized bombing” of their nuclear sites.
Mr. Trump’s subservient relationship with Mr. Putin is perspicuous and unmistakable – clearly observable to global foes and friends. He sees the Russian investigation as finished and history, but it is ongoing and may eventually prove his treasonous deeds.
USAID’s dismantling in February 2025 likely followed a Russian directive. This U.S. agency provided crucial funds for education and fought starvation, diseases, and poverty overseas – primarily in Africa. It was the face of American goodwill to millions of people in 122 countries. Unbeknown to most, USAID was also a source of vital information for the CIA. Contractual reports included financial and programming data, along with local demographics and political details. Over two decades, I worked with USAID multimillion dollar nonprofit contracts.
Today, Mr. Trump’s bigotry is killing Blacks and Browns in considerable numbers. His “unprovoked and unsubstantiated war on drugs” in the Caribbean has murdered innocent fishermen and others. As of November 2, 2025, “The US military has killed 70 people in 17 strikes and destroyed 18 boats.” (CNN, Nov. 2, 2025, written by Michael Rios, et.al.)
NPR (July 1, 2025, Jonathan Lambert) “estimated that 14 million lives could be lost due to Trump aid cuts in Africa.” The significance of this number is that it is more than twice the number of Jews killed by Hitler. Both men have expressed inhumane prejudices against other races. Mr. Trump, Mr. Rubio, and Mr. Musk have all been quoted saying variations of ‘no one has died since USAID closed.” These individuals have contributed to significant human suffering and mortality across Africa, while disregarding the severe consequences of their homicidal actions.
Mr. Kristof is an American journalist, a political commentator, and a winner of two Pulitzer Prizes. He wrote about his recent trip to Africa to witness these American-caused deaths. To quote him, “An ‘impact counter’ developed by an economist estimates that about 300,000 people have died so far from the reductions in American assistance, two-thirds of them are children. The death rate is said to be rising at the rate of 103 per hour.” (Kristof, Ibid) He goes on to say that “no one knows the exact number of deaths because no one is counting since the programs closed - the flat denial of any deaths at all is preposterous and criminal.” (Ibid)
Led by Donald Trump and denied by many in his current regime, the closure of USAID and these potential deaths of millions of Africans is deliberate. Since January 2025, Mr. Trump has openly demonstrated sectarianism and discrimination against Blacks and Browns and is comparable to Hitler’s bigotry against Jews. This crime is defined as Second Degree murder. These African deaths are “an intentional, unlawful killing that is committed with an extreme indifference to human life” - A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.
“A 2025 study estimates that USAID funding saved 92 million lives globally between 2001 and 2021, with a significant portion in Africa.” (AI Overview)
This genocide in Africa was created by one man’s bigotry and had been preventable.

Graham also announced the upcoming release of a new book, 'Survival: Democracy's Struggle To Survive'. 'Survival' is unlike other political or American government books available today. It is a comparative assessment, an inspiration, and an intriguing collection of Substack messages from some of the best-known and best-selling authors in the last decade covering the terrifying realities of today's political life, U.S. government, global challenges, and critical current affairs. It is an exhaustively explored and thoroughly investigated analysis of the deep, dark, clandestine linkage between Trump and Putin - a relationship which has plagued world politics and dismantled the United States government since 2015. Contributing authors include Craig Unger, Charlie Sykes, Steven Beschloss, David Adelman and Dr. Sanford Mayer. The book will be released later in 2025.
All of this information and much more is available in Graham's book, 'From Democracy To Democrazy: A Warning To All Americans', now available at Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Elizabeth-Graham/author/B0CMY189NT?. The bestselling eBook version will be available at no charge November 25, 2025, at Amazon. More information is available at her website at https://democrazy2020.org/.
About Elizabeth Graham:
Elizabeth Graham lives in a quiet rural city in northern Arizona. She had 4 children and has 3 grandchildren. Her oldest daughter died July 16, 2016 - three months before the U.S. 2016 election and while living/working in Japan. The Tokyo Police ruled her death a homicide by an unknown substance – possibly a poison - which is the signature lethal method used by Russians. There is more about her death in From Democracy to Democrazy.
Elizabeth was indoctrinated at a young age by her father who was a senior manager working undercover with the CIA. Her college days were in Los Angeles with the desire to become a high school teacher. However, she was destined to study Russia, Russian language, and live a life of Top-Secret clearances and undercover work. This led to senior nonprofit management positions and consulting jobs in strategic places like Moscow and St. Petersburg in Russia, all the former Soviet - Central Asian countries, and Ukraine, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and many other locations. In this process of living and working abroad, she became bi-cultural - American to Russian and back – only to find that her birth country was in the process of losing its democracy and becoming a dictatorship.
