I found this audiobook a little hard to follow, especially keeping the Russian names straight, and thought it wandered off topic more than I liked. Plus the final police investigation files haven't been released yet, so there's still some speculation as to who / how the agent was poisoned. ( ) Russian intelligence officer Litvinenko investigates the war in Chechnya and uncovers financial corruption in Aeroflot which was surely directed by Putin. Litvinenko dies after being poisoned by polonium. George Soros is said to have given money to Russian scientists and introduces Putin representatives at Davos. Litvinenko has since then not been the only person targeted for assassination on British soil. Finally!! I'm through! This book has been following me around for quite some time now and, to be honest, I've had enough now. It is a good book. BUT (there's always a but, somewhere in a story...) for me it was a bit disappointing. The story wasn't a story about 'Litvinenko', but is was even more one about Russian politics in the last decade. With all the intrigues, the hatred, the games. And, to tell you the thruth, that's not something I'm very fond of. For me the first and the last part were the best. These were the 'adventures' and death of Litvinenko. The middle part, about conspiracies, political friendships and no-more friendships, was not really my cup of tea.

Risorse esterne che parlano di questo libro Wikipedia in inglese (23)The assassination of former Russian intelligence officer Alexander Litvinenko in November 2006--poisoned by the rare radioactive element polonium--caused an international sensation. Within a few short weeks, the fit 43-year-old lay gaunt, bald, and dying in a hospital, the victim of a "tiny nuclear bomb." Suspicions swirled around Russia's FSB, the successor to the KGB, and the Putin regime. But what really happened? What did Litvinenko know? And why was he killed? The full story of Litvinenko's life and death is one that the Kremlin does not want told. Ever since 1998, when Litvinenko denounced the FSB for ordering him to assassinate tycoon Boris Berezovsky, he had devoted his life to exposing the FSB's darkest secrets. He investigated everything, and he denounced his former employers in no uncertain terms. Litvinenko dedicated his life to exposing this truth; it took his diabolical murder for the world to listen.--From publisher description. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
