Publisher's Synopsis
In 1998, former Russian intelligence officer Alexander "Sasha" Litvinenko denounced the FSB for ordering him to assassinate Boris Berezovsky. After a dramatic escape to London, he spent six years investigating a widening series of scandals and denounced his former employers for their dirty deeds. His assassination in November 2006—poisoned by the rare radioactive element polonium—caused an international sensation. The full story of his life, told by his best friend and widow, opens a window into the dark heart of the Putin Kremlin. Litvinenko dedicated his life to exposing this truth. It took his diabolical murder for the world to listen.
