When Vladimir Putin, an unimportant, low-level KGB operative, was
rushed to power by a group of Oligarchs in 1999, he was a man
without a history. Within a few brief years, Putin had dismantled
Russia's media, wrested control and wealth from the country's
burgeoning business class, and decimated the fragile mechanisms of
democracy. Virtually every obstacle to his unbridled control was
removed and every opposing voice silenced, with political rivals
and critics driven into exile or to the grave. Drawing on
information and sources no other writer has tapped, Masha Gessen's
fearless account charts Putin's rise from the boy who had scrapped
his way through post-war Leningrad schoolyards, to the 'faceless'
man who manoeuvred his way into absolute - and absolutely corrupt -
power.
