Description: This book traces the Wagner Group's violent ascent and descent, exposing how a shadow army built an empire until it turned on its masters.
Review Quotes: The Wagner mercenary company may be all but defunct, but as this important and interesting study shows, we can expect not only Russia but also other countries to adapt its model of outsourced authoritarian violence and influence to their own ends.--Mark Galeotti, coauthor of Downfall: Putin, Prigozhin and the Fight for the Future of Russia
