      abstract = {Boyd-Barret and Marmura have brought together an  outstanding team to analyze one of the most fateful  episodes in contemporary political life. The volume is  exceptionally coherent, with each chapter ground-breaking  in its own way. The book advances our knowledge and  understanding in a critical and fundamental manner and will  undoubtedly stand the test of time to become essential  reading for anyone seeking to understand the Russiagate  phenomenon. Richard Sakwa, Professor Emeritus of Politics,  University of Kent and author of Deception: Russiagate and  the New Cold War (Lexington Books, 2022). This volume  provides a comprehensive, scholarly re-examination of the  events and developments collectively referred to as  Russiagate. In 2016 a consensus emerged within American and  British intelligence, political, and news media  establishments that Russia was interfering in the United  States federal election vis--vis an influence campaign, in  support of the candidacy of Donald Trump. This narrative  monopolized western media attention for over five years but  has proven poorly founded in fact. Russiagate Revisited  examines the authenticity of official Russiagate claims,  the role of mainstream and alternative media as both  observers of and participants in the drama, what Russiagate  reveals about the state of mainstream journalism, the  gambits of professional propagandists within a  long-established campaign of demonization of Russia, how  Russiagate narratives were perceived in Russia, and the  grave implications - of both Russiagate and the decline of  trust in public information - for sustainable western  democracy. Oliver Boyd-Barrett is Professor Emeritus of  Media and Communications at Bowling Green State University,  Ohio. Stephen Marmura is a Professor in the Department of  Sociology, at St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish,  Nova Scotia, Canada.},
