John Sweeney Book order

Sein Name war für den russischen Präsidenten tabu, bis Putin sich des verhassten Kontrahenten zuletzt doch entledigte: Alexej Nawalny, Putins gefährlichster Gegner. John Sweeney, der seit Jahrzehnten als Investigativjournalist zu den Abgründen der russischen Politik recherchiert und berichtet, kannte Nawalny persönlich. Nun liefert er eine packende Biografie über den Oppositionsführer und Hoffnungsträger, seine Stärken und Schwächen, die Attacken, denen er ausgesetzt war – und offenbart die Ziele und Strategien von Nawalnys mächtigen Gegnern. Temporeich, spannend und hochinformativ beleuchtet Sweeney die Geschichten hinter den Schlagzeilen und kommt zu einem klaren Schluss: Wenn Putin Einhalt geboten werden soll, muss der Westen ihm mit aller Entschiedenheit entgegentreten.

An exploration of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's life and death, told by straight-talking journalist John Sweeney

A gripping and explosive account of Vladimir Putin's tyranny, charting his rise from spy to tsar, exposing the events that led to his invasion of Ukraine and his assault on Europe. In Killer in the Kremlin, award-winning journalist John Sweeney takes readers from the heart of Putin's Russia to the killing fields of Chechnya, to the embattled cities of an invaded Ukraine. In a disturbing expose of Putin's sinister ambition, Sweeney draws on thirty years of his own reporting - from the Moscow apartment bombings to the atrocities committed by the Russian Army in Chechnya, to the annexation of Crimea and a confrontation with Putin over the shooting down of flight MH17 - to understand the true extent of Putin's long war. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and compelling testimony from those who have suffered at Putin's hand, we see the heroism of the Russian opposition, the bravery of the Ukrainian resistance, and the brutality with which the Kremlin responds to such acts of defiance, assassinating or locking away its critics, and stopping at nothing to achieve its imperialist aims

Dieser Mann schreckt vor nichts zurück Bei der Verfolgung seiner Ziele geht Wladimir Putin über Leichen, und das nicht erst seit dem Überfall auf die Ukraine. John Sweeney, investigativer Journalist und seit vielen Jahren auf der Spur von Putins Verbrechen, legt die Beweise vor: Schon bei seinem unheimlichen Aufstieg vom Stasi-Mann in Dresden zum unumschränkten Herrscher im Kreml ging Putin mit erbarmungsloser Konsequenz vor, ließ Oppositionelle ausschalten, provozierte Kriege und überzog Russland mit einem Netzwerk der Korruption. Sein Ziel: die Festigung seiner Macht, persönliche Bereicherung, Russlands Wiederaufstieg zur Weltmacht. Mit kriminalistischer Akribie hat Sweeney vor Ort recherchiert – in Moskau, Tschetschenien, in der Ukraine während des Krieges –, hat mit Zeugen und Experten gesprochen, mit Dissidenten und Ex-KGBlern, mit Handlangern des Systems Putin, mit Kritikern, von denen zu viele für ihre Haltung sterben mussten. Psychogramm, packender Hintergrundreport und knallharte Analyse – eine längst überfällige Aufklärung, eine beispiellose Anklageschrift.

When a child is kidnapped by his unstable mother, the father turns to Joe Tiplady--offering him a lot of money to find the boy and bring him back. It soon becomes clear that Joe will have to earn every cent: mother and son are in war-torn Syria, and they've willingly joined the ranks of ISIS.

Two seemingly unrelated incidents, but Joe will find himself crossing paths with Zeke again. From the Hollywood underworld to bombed-out Aleppo, via a controversial US election and a global refugee crisis, Joe's hunt for the missing boy will send him to the darkest, most dangerous places in the modern world. And his search may force him to confront the unfinished business in his own murky past--that is, if he survives.

A retired Soviet general hunts for his missing daughter after a series of brutal murders. A ruthless assassin loses something so precious he will do anything to get it back. And in the mountains of Utah, a brilliant ex-CIA chief wrestles with his religion. In the shadow of them all lies Zoba, strongman ruler of Russia and puppet-master of the world's darkest operatives. Can Joe save himself from this dangerous web of power and revenge? Where can he run when there's nowhere left to hide? Please note: this book contains strong language and scenes of torture.
