Winter Is Coming
Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must Be Stopped
A first-hand warning about Vladimir Putin's consolidation of power, written by the chess champion turned opposition leader who watched it happen.
Garry Kasparov retired from chess in 2005 to oppose Vladimir Putin, and this book is his warning to the West. He argues that appeasement, resets, and wishful thinking allowed a KGB officer to rebuild an authoritarian state and export its aggression, from Georgia to Crimea. Written in 2015, the book predicted escalation that later headlines confirmed. It is polemical by design, drawing on Kasparov’s own experience of harassment and exile, and it reads today like a prophecy delivered too early.
