What They're Saying
Critics Review
“If Steve LeVine’s aim in his new book, Putin’s Labyrinth, was to chill us to the marrow about post-communist Russia, he has succeeded… . LeVine’s investigations and interviews are thorough and his conclusions sober.”—Chicago Tribune
“Putin’s Labyrinth is an extremely readable account that is as timely as today’s news stories. I recommend it without reservation.”—David M. Kinchen, Huntington News
“[A] hot-off-the-presses exposé … LeVine’s important take on the all-too-real machinations and bloodthirstiness from which espionage thrillers are made is both unnerving and intriguing.”—Booklist
