An epic tale of Vladimir Putin's path to power, as he emerged from
obscurity to become one of the world's most conflicted and
important leaders. Former New York TimesMoscow Bureau Chief Steven
Lee Myers has followed Putin since well before the recent events in
the Ukraine, and gives us the fullest and most engaging account
available of his rise to power. A gripping, page-turning narrative
about Russian power and prestige, the book depicts a cool and
calculating leader with enormous ambition and few scruples. As the
world struggles to confront a newly assertive Russia, the
importance of understanding Putin has never been greater. Vladimir
Putin rose out of Soviet deprivation to the pinnacle of influence
in the new Russian nation. He came to office in 2000 as a reformer,
cutting taxes and expanding property rights, bringing a measure of
order and eventually prosperity to millions whose only experience
of democracy in the early years following the Soviet collapse was
instability, poverty and criminality. But soon Putin orchestrated
the preservation of a new kind of authoritarianism, consolidating
power, reasserting his country's might, brutally crushing revolts
and swiftly dispatching dissenters, even as he retained the support
of many.
