The first reports seemed absurd. A Russian dissident, formerly an
employee of the KGB and its successor, the FSB, had seemingly been
poisoned in a London hotel. As Alexander Litvinenko's condition
worsened, however, and he was transferred to hospital and placed
under armed guard, the story took a sinister turn. On 23 November
2006, Litvinenko died, apparently from polonium-210 radiation
poisoning. He himself, in a dramatic statement from his deathbed,
accused his former employers at the Kremlin of being responsible
for his murder. Who was Alexander Litvinenko? What had happened in
Russia since the end of the Cold War to make his life there
untenable, and even in severe jeopardy in Britain? How did he
really die, and who killed him? In his spokesman and close friend,
Alex Goldfarb, and widow Marina, we have two people who know more
than anyone about the real Sasha Litvinenko, and about his murder.
Their riveting book sheds astonishing light not just on these
strange and troubling events but also on the biggest crisis in
relations with Russia since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
