Blowing Up Russia by Alexander Litvinenko

Blowing Up Russia by Alexander Litvinenko

Vividly written and based on Litvinenko's 20 years of insider's knowledge of Russian spy campaigns, "Blowing up Russia" describes how the successor of the KGB fabricated terrorist attacks and launched war to have the unknown Putin - Litvinenko's former superior at the Russian secret service - elected with a landslide victory.

Alexander Litvinenko served in the Russian military for more than 20 years achieving the ranks of Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1999 he was arrested and imprisoned on charges that were later dismissed. After continuing further charges (equally dismissed), he escaped from Russia, and lived with his family in Great Britain, where he was granted political asylum in 2001.
