This book may appeal to you if you're intrigued by geopolitical dynamics and the complex interplay between democracy and authoritarianism in the modern world.

Winter Is Coming

In this bold and important book, Garry Kasparov argues that Vladimir Putin's dangerous global ambitions have been ignored too long - and he won't be stopped unless the West stands up to him.

The stunning story of Russia's slide back into a dictatorship - and how the West is now paying the price for allowing it to happen.

Description

Garry Kasparov has been a vocal critic of Putin for over a decade, even leading the pro-democracy opposition in the 2008 Presidential election. Yet years of seeing his Cassandra-like prophecies about Putin's intentions fulfilled have left Kasparov with the realization of a darker truth: Putin's Russia, like ISIS or Al Qaeda, defines itself in opposition to the free countries of the world.

Kasparov now urges a forceful stand—diplomatic and economic—against him. For as long as the world's powerful democracies continue to recognise and negotiate with Putin, he can maintain credibility in his home country.

Argued with the force of Kasparov's world-class intelligence, conviction, and hopes for his home country, Winter Is Coming is an unmistakable call to action.
