From the back cover: FROM THE KGB TO THE KREMLIN: A MULTIDIMENSIONAL PORTRAIT OF THE MAN AT WAR WITH THE WEST. 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. This new and greatly expanded 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. Where do 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?
