Michael Stanchev - Böcker

Russia's February 24 invasion of Ukraine came from nowhere...? Felshtinsky and Stanchev's gripping history of Putin's attempts to take Ukraine reveals his first deadly attack came as early as 1999. As early as 2015 the authors predicted that the Russian invasion was a matter the Russian army's 6-year planning cycle and would happen in 2021 (not knowing the pandemic would happen). They argue how Putin must be resisted in order to avoid a potential nuclear conflict that could drag the world into a global war. An authoritative must-read to understand the causes of the crisis and what to do when.

A detailed, gripping and urgent account of Russia's persistent attempts to reclaim Ukraine over more than two decades, culminating in the 2022 invasion. This book offers a comprehensive history, beginning with early aggression in 1999, through the annexation of Crimea in 2014, to the full-scale invasion of 2022. The authors provide a chilling narrative that exposes Russia's geopolitical strategies and the global threat they pose. Drawing on historical analogies and contemporary analysis, Felshtinsky and Stanchev highlight the mounting atrocities and the potential for broader conflict if the West does not respond effectively. The book weaves personal anecdotes and meticulous research, creating a gripping account of the ongoing struggle. It serves as a powerful call to action, emphasizing the need for international awareness and intervention to address the escalating crisis and protect global stability.
