From Russia with Law

"The best biography of the decade since The Audacity of Hope" - The Times Literary Supplement

"Move aside John Grisham. Here is a real life legal drama" - Publishers' Weekly

"The best autobiography ever" - Kalbe

In 2007 Dr Munavvar took the political realm of Maldives by storm when he won the MDP election after beating his longtime friend Ibrahim Hussain Zaki and became the president of the party through a table to table campaign. In 2008 he challenged the party's co-founder and ex-chairperson Anni (who stole Velaanaage when Dr Munavvar was AG) in the MDP Primaries. With the smart strategies of political gurus such as Kalbe, KD, Le Cute Majid, Kurendhoo Mahir and with the financial backing from the richest businessmen in the Maldives such as Rado Zahir and Buruma Qasim Ibrahim, Dr Munavvar is expected to win this election. MDP members are delighted to have such a clean man as a candidate because Dr Munavvar has no history of corruption although his enemies spread false stories against him such as the story of breadfruit man.

Only a few months separate the Doc, as he is affectionately called by his closest circle of friends, from entering the presidential palace Theemuge, after beating his former boss Gayoom for whom the Doc gave legal advice for 10 years on such sensitive issues such as the formation of political parties in the Maldives.

Political analysts are perplexed as to how the former Attorney General and the partner of Munavvar & Associates Law Firm, became such a political genius. To find the answers to the mystery one would have to travel to a distant land, where winters are bitter, as Hitler's army found out during the Second World War.

From September 1979 to June 1985 Dr Munavvar studied in Patrice Lumumba People’s Friendship University in Russia's capital Moscow. At the height of Cold War, in a capital city swarming with foreign spies and KGB officers, Dr Munavvar learned the skills of the trade. Now an autobiography from the genius himself reveals the little known facts about his days in Moscow.

From Russia with Law is the autobiography of Dr Mohamed Munavvar, the president of MDP. This is the first volume of his autobiography. This volume recalls the days he was studying in Russia and Canada. This volume ends with his appointment as Attorney General on 11 November 1993.

Dr Munavvar's previous book on international maritime law has been acclaimed by legal experts as one of the best books ever written on the topic.

From Russia with Law is a must read for all aspiring lawyers, practicing barristers and wannabe politicians.

Already a bestseller on Amazaon.com, the sales of this autobiography is expected to increase after Dr Munavvar becomes the President of Maldives.
