Why people recommend it

The New Tsar by Steven Lee Myers is a comprehensive biography of Russian leader Vladimir Putin that examines his political rise and reign. On The Book Review, Pamela Paul interviewed Steven Lee Myers about the book on his tour, discussing how Putin has embraced Soviet traditions alongside a distinctly imperial, czaristic vision of state leadership. Paul and Myers also discussed the careful deliberation behind using the term czar rather than a Soviet designation for the title. On Pod Save America, John Favreau brought up Steven Lee Myers's book while sharing his reading recommendations with listeners, noting that he had recently read the biography and found it to be a very strong and insightful work.
