'The Silicon Curtain podcast is a pioneering and perceptive addition to the debate about Europe's security future (and the present crisis). This book fills a gap in the discussion-and on your bookshelf.' EDWARD LUCASFrom THE DARK HEART OF RUSSIA:'Neither Kafka nor Huxley could have imagined a world with this level of craziness.' GARRY KASPAROV'A premonitory peek at the state of Russia, the brittleness of its economy, its regime, its power structure.' GENERAL DAVID H. PETRAEUS'It is quite misunderstood how traumatized, deeply confused, and even lost Russians are.' PETER POMERANTSEV
