A review by spoko
The New Tsar: The Rise and Reign of Vladimir Putin by Steven Lee Myers

5.0

It must be challenging to present a truly thorough biography in a way that is also compelling and interesting. Myers has accomplished that here. Putin's career is examined in its length, breadth, and depth. I came away with a much more thorough understanding of the man who is truly a pivotal influence in so many aspects of Russian life, as well as Eurasian military and political developments.
