Alone among world leaders, he has the power to reduce the world to ashes in a nuclear firestorm and has threatened to do so. He invades his neighbours, most recently Ukraine, meddles in western elections and orders assassinations inside and outside Russia. What forces and experiences shaped him? What led him to challenge the American-led world order that has kept the peace since the end of the Cold War? This book is as close as we will come to understanding Russia's ruler.
