The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin by Masha Gessen

informative reflective medium-paced

4.25

Everything Masha Gessen writes is worth reading. This isn't quite as good as their brilliant The Future Is History, and it was written twelve years ago so it feels a bit outdated, especially in light of recent events. But still a valuable contribution to our understanding of Putin's ascendancy.
