For readers of Putin's People by Catherine Belton comes the
stunning story of Russia's slide back into a dictatorship led by
Vladimir Putin - and how the world is now paying the price. 'Brave,
trenchant and convincing' Sunday Times 'Ferocious and unforgiving'
Financial Times The ascension of Vladimir Putin - a former
lieutenant colonel of the KGB - to the presidency of Russia in 1999
was a strong signal that the country was headed away from
democracy. Yet in the intervening years - as America and the
world's other leading powers have continued to appease him - Putin
has grown not only into a dictator but an international threat.
With his vast resources and nuclear arsenal, Putin is at the centre
of a worldwide assault on political liberty and the modern world
order. For Garry Kasparov, none of this is news. He has been a
vocal critic of Putin for over a decade, even leading the
pro-democracy opposition to him in the farcical 2008 presidential
election. Yet years of seeing his Cassandra-like prophecies about
Putin's intentions fulfilled have left Kasparov with a darker
truth: Putin's Russia, like ISIS or Al Qaeda, defines itself in
opposition to the free countries of the world. As Putin has grown
ever more powerful, the threat he poses has grown from local to
regional and finally to global. In this urgent book, Kasparov shows
that the collapse of the Soviet Union was not an endpoint - only a
change of seasons, as the Cold War melted into a new spring. But
now, after years of complacency and poor judgement, winter is once
again upon us. Argued with the force of Kasparov's world-class
intelligence, conviction and hopes for his home country, Winter Is
Coming reveals Putin for what he is: an existential danger hiding
in plain sight.
