Putin

Description

The monumental biography of the most influential leader on the world stage in the last twenty years.

Vladimir Putin is a pariah to the West.

He has the power to reduce the West to nuclear ashes. He invades his neighbours, meddles in western elections, and orders assassinations. Yet many Russians continue to support him. Under Putin's leadership, Russia has once again become a force to be reckoned with.

Philip Short's magisterial biography, Putin, explores in unprecedented depth the personality of Russia's leader and demolishes many of our preconceptions about Putin's Russia.

To explain is not to justify. Putin's regime is dark. But, on closer examination, much of what we think we know about him turns out to rest on half-truths. This book is as close as we will come to understanding Russia's ruler.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Putin by Philip Short is praised as a magisterial work, based on extensive access to influential figures, offering an exhaustive profile that is both readable and judicious. Described as exceptional and unlikely to be matched, it focuses on Putin himself rather than just his regime, delivering a revealing and compelling biography. The book is highly recommended for understanding Putin's personality, ideas, and influence.
