An astonishing investigation into the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war - from the corridors of the Kremlin to the trenches of Mariupol.
Praise for Overreach
‘Not merely the first full account of the war in Ukraine, but may set the standard for some time to come … a remarkable achievement, with Matthews’s expert eye like an all-seeing drone, buzzing from one side of the conflict to the other’ 5* Telegraph
‘Superb … a true page-turner’ Andrew Roberts, BBC History
Praise for Owen Matthews
‘Matthews himself seems to contain an essence of a Russia that preceded the turmoils and savage inflictions that he so richly describes in his book.’ The Guardian
‘This is Robert Harris storytelling territory and is told with equal panache and authenticity. There could be no higher praise.’ Daily Mail
‘Not only does Owen Matthews write with extraordinary vividness… but his technique is more that of a novelist than a journalist – and a master craftsman at that.’ Spectator
‘Owen Matthews tells the story with tremendous verve and expertise and a real talent for mise en scène … Vividly alive … richly authentic.’ William Boyd, New Statesman
‘Ben Macintyre and John le Carré fans alike will find themselves very much at home.’ The Observer
‘There are some authors who have gone out into the world to observe the good, the bad and the ugly. Owen Matthews is such … fascinating and has fearsome authenticity.’ Frederick Forsyth
The Inside Story of Putin and Russia’s War Against Ukraine
Award-winning correspondent, historian and fluent Russian-speaker Owen Matthews has lived and worked in Moscow for over 25 years. He has built up an unrivalled network of contacts who have worked in Putin’s administration, security services, armed forces and propaganda machine. He worked first as a staffer for The Moscow Times and then as Newsweek magazine’s Moscow Bureau Chief. He has covered conflicts in Bosnia, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Iraq, Georgia and Eastern Ukraine. He currently contributes regularly to Foreign Policy, Spectator, Daily Mail, Telegraph and The Critic.
