Summary:
"The epic tale of
Vladimir
Putin
-- his emergence from shrouded obscurity and deprivation to become one of the most consequential and complicated leaders in modern history. Former
New
York Times Moscow bureau chief Steven Lee Myers has followed
Vladimir
Putin
's path for many years, and gives us the fullest, most absorbing account we have of his
rise
to power. This gripping narrative elucidates a cool and calculating man with enormous ambition and few scruples.
Putin
, a former KGB agent, came to office in 2000 as a reformer, cutting taxes, expanding property rights, bringing a measure of order and eventual prosperity to millions whose only experience of democracy in the early years following the Soviet collapse was instability, poverty, and criminality. But
Putin
then orchestrated a
new
authoritarianism, consolidating power, reasserting the country's might, brutally crushing revolts, and swiftly dispatching dissenters, even as he retained--andcontinues to retain--the support of many. As the world struggles to confront a newly assertive Russia, the importance of understanding
Putin
has never been greater. This keenly insightful, riveting book provides an essential key to that understanding"--Provided by publisher.
