The Wagner Group: From Savage Global Mercenaries to Putin's Unlikely Nemesis - Paperback
by Owen Wilson (Author)
This is the first book on the Wagner Group, the shadowy Russian paramilitary organisation that fought in Ukraine and staged a surprise uprising against Vladimir Putin on 23-24 June.
It has been involved in conflicts in Syria, Libya, the Central African Republic, Venezuela and Mali, committing war crimes, rape, robbery of civilians, and torture. Yevgeny Prigozhin, a businessman with close links to the Kremlin, admitted in September 2022 that he "founded" the paramilitary group. Owen Wilson investigates its history and who is really behind the group as it clearly isn't Vladimir Putin.
Owen Wilson started his writing career at the FINANCIAL TIMES and the author of several books on organised crime. He has provided news comment on British, Australian, New Zealand and US broadcasters and media. His most recent book is the acclaimed The Killer Prince: The Chilling Special Operation to Assassinate Washington Post Journalist Jamal Khashoggi
