A two-books-in-one paperback that pairs a broad history of Russia with a survey of Soviet and Russian security services. Book 1 runs from the Grand Prince Vladimir and Ivan the Terrible through Peter and Catherine the Great, Napoleon's 1812 invasion, the 1917 revolution, Stalin, World War II and the Winter War, the Cold War and the rise of the KGB. Book 2 covers the 2022 invasion of Ukraine and the history of Russia-Ukraine relations. It suits readers who want a wide, fast-moving overview rather than a specialist study; the KGB and FSB material is a thread through the narrative, not a detailed operational casebook.
