eiridium 's review for:
The New Tsar: The Rise and Reign of Vladimir Putin
by Steven Lee Myers
Comprehensive. A thorough and appreciably balanced look at VV Putin's rise to power.
Thoroughly enjoyed, but a slightly uneven level of detail and from the end of the second term through PM'ship there was a noticeable rise in the financial and network detail that bogged down the overall presentation. As said, a very comprehensive and seemingly well-researched work.
Very readable and recommended as an overall survey of recent (30 yrs) Russian political history with an obvious focus on explaining the evolution of Putin's approach and thinking.
