In Killer in the Kremlin, veteran investigative journalist John Sweeney delivers a bold and unflinching portrait of Vladimir Putin, piecing together decades of evidence, eyewitness testimony, and insider accounts to reveal the dark truth behind the Russian president’s reign. From the early days of the KGB to the annexation of Crimea and the downing of MH17, this gripping political non-fiction narrative lays bare the brutality and deception behind the Kremlin’s global agenda.
Sweeney combines journalistic rigor with firsthand reporting, exposing how Putin’s carefully constructed image masks a legacy of violence, corruption, and calculated control. Drawing on his own experiences reporting from Russia and Ukraine, Sweeney connects the dots between unsolved murders, disinformation campaigns, and the silencing of critics—both at home and abroad.
More than just a biography, Killer in the Kremlin is an urgent call to understand the man behind the mask—a leader whose power comes not from diplomacy, but from fear. For readers seeking the real story behind headlines and propaganda, this book offers a compelling, eye-opening perspective.
Key highlights include:
-
Eyewitness accounts from defectors, journalists, and victims
-
Detailed analysis of events like MH17, Crimea, and Navalny’s poisoning
