From Russia with Blood

The book uncovers some chilling details about state-sponsored violence; I wonder what motivated the author to explore this dark side of politics.

Some parts read like insider knowledge, which made me question how much is publicly available versus classified info. How do others interpret the credibility of these claims?

The blending of past and present created a compelling flow but also raised questions about whether this was a strategic choice to build suspense or to provide deeper understanding.
