WINTER IS COMING - GARRI KASPAROW KARTONIERT (TB)

For readers of Putin's People by Catherine Belton comes the stunning story of Russia's slide
back into a dictatorship led by Vladimir Putin - and how the world is now paying the price. 
'Brave  trenchant and convincing' Sunday Times  'Ferocious and unforgiving' Financial Times 
The ascension of Vladimir Putin - a former lieutenant colonel of the KGB - to the presidency of
Russia in 1999 was a strong signal that the country was headed away from democracy. Yet in the
intervening years - as America and the world's other leading powers have continued to appease
him - Putin has grown not only into a dictator but an international threat. With his vast
resources and nuclear arsenal  Putin is at the centre of a worldwide assault on political
liberty and the modern world order.  For Garry Kasparov  none of this is news. He has been a
vocal critic of Putin for over a decade  even leading the pro-democracy opposition to him in
the farcical 2008 presidential election. Yet years of seeing his Cassandra-like prophecies
about Putin's intentions fulfilled have left Kasparov with a darker truth: Putin's Russia  like
ISIS or Al Qaeda  defines itself in opposition to the free countries of the world.  As Putin
has grown ever more powerful  the threat he poses has grown from local to regional and finally
to global. In this urgent book  Kasparov shows that the collapse of the Soviet Union was not an
endpoint - only a change of seasons  as the Cold War melted into a new spring. But now  after
years of complacency and poor judgement  winter is once again upon us.  Argued with the force
of Kasparov's world-class intelligence  conviction and hopes for his home country  Winter Is
Coming reveals Putin for what he is: an existential danger hiding in plain sight.
