From Oscar-winner Oliver Stone comes a first-hand look at one of
the most important, powerful, and controversial leaders in the
world: Vladimir Putin of Russia. The companion to the news-breaking
television series, this edition has substantial material not
included in the documentary. Academy Award winner Oliver Stone was
able to secure what journalists, news organizations, and even other
world leaders have long coveted: extended, unprecedented access to
Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Putin Interviews are culled
from more than a dozen interviews with Putin over a two-year
span-never before has the Russian leader spoken in such depth or at
such length with a Western interviewer. No topics are off limits in
the interviews, which first occurred during Stone's trips to meet
with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in Moscow and most recently
after the election of President Donald Trump. Prodded by Stone,
Putin discusses relations between the United States and Russia,
allegations of interference in the US election, and Russia's
involvement with conflicts in Syria, Ukraine, and elsewhere across
the globe. Putin speaks about his rise to power and details his
relationships with Presidents Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, and
Trump. The exchanges are personal, provocative, and at times
surreal. At one point, Stone asks, "Why did Russia hack the
election?"; at another, Stone introduces him to Stanley Kubrick's
1964 Cold War satire "Dr. Strangelove," which the two watch
together. Stone has interviewed controversial world leaders before,
including Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, and Benjamin Netanyahu. But
The Putin Interviews, in its unmediated access to one of the most
enigmatic and powerful men in the world, can only be compared to
the series of conversations between David Frost and Richard Nixon
we now refer to as "The Nixon Interviews" of 1977. The book will
also contain references and sources that give readers a deeper
understanding of the topics covered in the interviews and make for
a more robust reading experience.
