Title: Good introductory biography of Russia's president
Review: Vladimir Putin's "First Person" is a biography in question and answer format. It gives an insight into the man who is the leader of the largest country in the world. There are questions and answers from not only Putin himself, but also his old school teachers, KGB collegues and his wife and two daughters. Even so, this biography does not give a full picture of the president as a person and much of his past (for example KGB) is not mentioned in great detail (that's why I took off a star) and does not give a deep insight as the book implies. It is a very whitewashed biography of Putin. In fact, I don't recall reading a negative thing about him in this book!! This aside, and all considered, this is an entertaining read and a good introduction to Russia's President; but certainly missing a lot.
