Critics Review
(Praise for Philip Short on Pot Pot ): ‘A superb, chilling, yet human portrait of a monster’
Magisterial… based on access to a Who’s Who of senior politicians, diplomats and intelligence sources. * Guardian *
An exhaustive profile * Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year *
Exceptional… unlikely to be matched as a study of the man… It is readable, judicious, critical but balanced and focused on Putin the person rather than on the Putin regime * The Irish Times *
[A] revealing and compellingly granular biography * Times Literary Supplement *
Anyone wanting to learn more about Putin’s personality, ideas, power and the threat he has come to pose to world peace should read this outstanding biography – Ian Kershaw
