The first history of the shadowy Wagner Group led by Yevgeny Prighozin who almost attacked Moscow on 23-24 June 2023, defying Vladimir Putin, and paid the price when his plane exploded on 23 August 2023.
This is the first book on the Wagner Group, the shadowy Russian paramilitary organisation that fought in Ukraine and staged a surprise uprising against Vladimir Putin on 23-24 June. It has been involved in conflicts in Syria, Libya, the Central African Republic, Venezuela and Mali, committing war crimes, rape, robbery of civilians, and torture. Yevgeny Prigozhin, a businessman with close links to the Kremlin, admitted in September 2022 that he "founded" the paramilitary group. Owen Wilson investigates its history and who is really behind the group as it clearly isnt Vladimir Putin.
