Vladimir Putin apparently lurched from a calculating, subtle master of opportunity to a reckless gambler, putting his regime – and Russia itself – at risk of destruction. Why? Drawing on over 25 years’ experience as a correspondent in Moscow, as well as his own family ties to Russia and Ukraine, journalist Owen Matthews takes us through the poisoned historical roots of the conflict, into the Covid bubble where Putin conceived his invasion plans in a fog of paranoia about Western threats, and finally into the inner circle around Ukrainian president and unexpected war hero Volodimir Zelensky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages: 448\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bendico","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50565609226582,"sku":"9780008562786","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/8692\/8726\/files\/9780008562786_7547ea8c-417c-4867-9147-e087d97f6048.jpg?v=1749462606"},{"product_id":"9780141983134","title":"Lost Kingdom - Serhii Plokhy","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2014, Russia annexed Crimea and attempted to seize a portion of Ukraine.

By uncovering the stories of ordinary Ukrainians thrust into the chaos of war, and transformed overnight from citizens into victims and refugees, Panyushkin sheds light on the brutal crimes committed by the Russian regime and offers a necessary act of truth-telling and atonement. Panyushkin delves into individual lives shattered by conflict, illuminating the human cost of war beyond the battlefront.
