In "This is a Man 'A study of Vladimir Putin and our modern era" you will quickly realize that Jean-Paul Cassone' is an American who is as pro-Putin as you'll ever find. In fact, the author holds such a high regard for this individual he has been quoted as stating that he sincerely believes that the Russia Federation's president, Vladimir Putin is more competent and qualified to be a U.S. president than the entire group of the 2016 U.S. presidential candidates of both parties combined What the reader gets in this book is quite a "bonus+". The opening chapter is in and of itself "a biography". The author is of the belief that most biographies are much longer than they need to be and that more than half have the potential to put their readers to sleep. Mr. Cassone' has succeeded in adding just the right amounts of spice and pizzazz to the Putin profile which continues to keep the reader's interest. You won't just come away having an enriched knowledge of Vladimir Putin and what makes him tick, because the author goes beyond this. He takes you on a journey that makes you understand and realize exactly what unique conditions this Russian president has been dealt in the historic environment of our time. As for additional subject matter, the author pulls out all the stops, covering the death of Western Man, fatherless families in America, the gambit of climate change, what-ifs for interpreting our evolution, dismantling the New World Order, mind-control institutes and much, much more, are all ingredients that add a much richer spice to the zest and appeal of reading this great manuscript
