Putin

Intelligent books about Vladimir Putin have been few and far between because, of all the world leaders, the man his friends call 'Vlad' has managed to remain an enigma.

This highly personal biography of Russia's leader is the result of six years' research by author Chris Hutchins, a successful investigative journalist and much-published biographer. His associate, Alexander Korobko, is a London-based Russian journalist and TV director.

This book goes some way towards ending the enigma that is Vladimir Putin.
