The Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin by Masha Gessen
4.0
The negative reviews I saw on Goodreads criticized this book for not being an objective biography of Putin. And it is not.
This book is a careful explanation (I presume to an American or other westerner) of how Putin came to be in Russia, how he rules in Russia, and why it is bad. Gessen sometimes writes with positive disdain, albeit a well-written and engaging disdain. For this American, whose contemporary Russian history could use some help, it was enlightening.
