This weekend, I interviewed Candace Rondeaux about her new book, Putin's Sledgehammer. Rondeaux, a leading expert on global security and political violence, directs Future Frontlines and the Planetary Politics Initiative at the New America Foundation and teaches at Arizona State University.

In Putin’s Sledgehammer: The Wagner Group and Russia’s Collapse into Mercenary Chaos (PublicAffairs, May 13, 2025), she examines the rise of Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Wagner Group, revealing how criminal networks and Kremlin support turned this rogue mercenary army into a tool of Russian power. Through leaked documents and firsthand interviews, she connects the group’s brutal actions in Ukraine, Africa, and the Middle East to the broader decline of Russia’s military and political order under Vladimir Putin.

Grab a copy of the book on Amazon or at any major book store (Link here).
