About this listen

 From the KGB to the Kremlin: a multidimensional portrait of the man at war with the West. Where do Vladimir Putin's ideas come from? How does he look at the outside world? What does he want, and how far is he willing to go?

The great lesson of the outbreak of World War I in 1914 was the danger of misreading the statements, actions, and intentions of the adversary. Today, Vladimir Putin has become the greatest challenge to European security and the global world order in decades. Russia's 8,000 nuclear weapons underscore the huge risks of not understanding who Putin is. Featuring five new chapters, this new edition dispels potentially dangerous misconceptions about Putin and offers a clear-eyed look at his objectives. It presents Putin as a reflection of deeply ingrained Russian ways of thinking as well as his unique personal background and experience.

As insightful and detailed as you would expect. But the narration was robotic which detracted from the content. Fiona has a great voice, she knows her subject incredibly well so they should really re record this audio book with her reading it.

Loved Fiona’s other audiobook super easy to listen to due to her voice being heard. The robotic voice adopted for this book causes the listener to stumble over the sound and pitch, it is distracting from the content. Otherwise it is extremely interesting so try to stick with it.

Interesting but robotic voice not as good as Fiona’s.
