| Source of Description Note: | "As Russia gained a foothold of influence abroad, Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin, known as "Putin's Chef," went from caterer to commander to single greatest threat Putin has faced in his over-twenty-year rule. Dually armed with military and strategic prowess, the Wagner Group created a new market in a vast geopolitical landscape increasingly receptive to the promises of private actors. In this trailblazing account of the Group's origins and operations, John Lechner--the only journalist to report across its many warzones--brings us on the ground to witness Wagner partner with fragile nation states, score access to natural resources, oust peacekeeping missions, and cash in on conflicts reframed as Kremlin interests. After rebelling, Prigozhin faced an epic demise--but Wagner lives on, its political, business, and military ventures a pillar of Russian operations the world over."--dust jacket flap. |
