Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Compelling.… [E]rudite, objective and immensely readable.” —Ben Hall, Financial Times An authoritative history of Europe’s largest military conflict since World War II, from the New York Times best-selling author of The Gates of Europe. Despite repeated warnings from the White House, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war—and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military; the West has united, while Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War, offers a definitive account of this conflict, its origins, course, and the already apparent and possible future consequences. Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault—on February 27, 2014, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament—the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia’s ideas and cultures, as well as domestic and international politics, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable, it was predictable. Ukraine, Plokhy argues, has remained central to Russia’s idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order, and a resurgence of populist nationalism, Ukraine is now more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe.

What prompted President Vladimir Putin to send troops into Crimea? Why did the conflict spread to eastern Ukraine with Russian support? What does the war say about Russia's political, economic, and social priorities, and how does the crisis expose differences between the EU and Russia regarding international jurisdiction? Did Putin's obsession with his macho image start this war, and is it preventing its resolution? The exploration of these and other questions gives historians, political watchers, and theorists a solid grasp of the events that have destabilized the region.

Download or read book The War Came To Us written by Christopher Miller and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-20 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Vivid... Shocking... [Miller] brings a seasoned, personal perspective to his account of both the 16-month conflict and its wider roots.' Daily Telegraph 'A beautiful blend of memoir, reportage and history...superb.' Irish Times '...powerful and insightful...Miller provides a human dimension to a bloody conflict.' Kirkus Reviews A breathtaking exploration of Ukraine's past, present, and future, and a heartbreaking account of the war against Russia, written by a leading journalist who has lived and worked in Ukraine for over a decade. When Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine just before dawn on 24 February 2022, it marked his latest and most overt attempt to brutally conquer the country, and reshaped the world order. Christopher Miller, the Ukraine correspondent for the Financial Times and a foremost journalist covering the country, was there on the ground when the first Russian missiles struck and troops stormed over the border. But the seeds of Russia's war against Ukraine and the West were sown more than a decade earlier. This is the definitive, inside story of its long fight for freedom. Told through Miller's personal experiences, vivid front-line dispatches and illuminating interviews with unforgettable characters, The War Came To Us takes readers on a riveting journey through the key locales and pivotal events of Ukraine's modern history. From the coal-dusted, sunflower-covered steppe of the Donbas in the far east to the heart of the Euromaidan revolution camp in Kyiv; from the Black Sea shores of Crimea, where Russian troops stealthily annexed Ukraine's peninsula, to the bloody battlefields where Cossacks roamed before the Kremlin's warlords ruled with iron fists; and through the horror and destruction wrought by Russian forces in Bucha, Bakhmut, Mariupol, and beyond. With candor, wit and sensitivity, Miller captures Ukraine in all its glory: vast, defiant, resilient, and full of wonder. A breathtaking narrative that is at times both poignant and inspiring, The War Came To Us is the story of an American who fell in love with a foreign place and its people - and witnessed them do extraordinary things to escape the long shadow of their former imperial ruler and preserve their independence.

Download or read book Why the USA Needs to Support Ukraine written by Joseph Anthony and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early morning hours of February 24, 2022, Russia-or the Russian Federation-under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin, launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. To date, though Russia has realized only limited territorial gains, the toll on human life has been extensive, with nearly 500,000 casualties and massive destruction of resources, infrastructures, and food supplies. Tensions between the two nations have existed for millennia. Since breaking away from the USSR in 1991, Ukraine has sought to align itself with more Western nations In recent years, it has pursued an interest in joining NATO. Russian leaders consider this a threat to their national security and have maintained a close interest in their neighbor to the west. Although Russia invaded Donbas and annexed the Ukrainian territory of Crimea in 2014, Western leaders downplayed the threat of violent conflict between the two nations. This dangerous illusion allowed Russia to continue to pursue its expansionist ambitions and left Ukraine a vulnerable target lacking international support. The United States should support Ukraine, as this is ultimately a war for democracy and freedom against autocracy and suppression. Inside Why the USA Needs to Support Ukraine: Understanding the Imperative in the Face of Conflict, you will discover: Detailed aspects-including the causes, effects, and potential outcomes-of the Russian-Ukrainian war Why the European Union conducted business as usual and assumed Putin would adhere to the rule of law How the Beijing Pact of 2022-which formed an alliance between Russia and China-mirrors that of the 1939 pact between Nazi Germany and the then-Communist Soviet Union How aid and support from the United States would not only assist the Ukrainian people but also prevent global military involvement, end the loss of life and property, and improve international socio-economic and political relations This book offers a comprehensive presentation of the Russian-Ukrainian war, what its outcome means for world democracy and freedom, and why the United States should stand more firmly in favor of Ukraine and against autocracy and aggression. A world dominated by undemocratic leaders and regimes that suppress liberty would not be safe for anyone.

Download or read book Hubris written by Jonathan Haslam and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2025-01-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading expert on US-Russian relations reveals how the United States and its European allies set the course for the war in Ukraine—and offers a sobering indictment of American foreign policy since the fall of the Soviet Union. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 should not have taken the world by surprise. The attack escalated a war that began in 2014 with the Russian annexation of Crimea, but its origins are visible as far back as the aftermath of the Cold War, when newly independent Ukraine moved to the center of tense negotiations between Russia and the West. The United States was a leading player in this drama. In fact, Jonathan Haslam argues, it was decades of US foreign policy missteps and miscalculations, unchecked and often reinforced by European allies, that laid the groundwork for the current war. Isolated, impoverished, and relegated to a second-order power on the world stage, Russia grew increasingly resentful of Western triumphalism in the wake of the Cold War. The United States further provoked Russian ire with a campaign to expand NATO into Eastern Europe—especially Ukraine, the most geopolitically important of the former Soviet republics. Determined to extend its global dominance, the United States repeatedly ignored signs that antagonizing Russia would bring consequences. Meanwhile, convinced that Ukraine was passing into the Western sphere of influence, Putin prepared to shift the European balance of power in Russia’s favor. Timely and incisive, Hubris reveals the assumptions, equivocations, and grievances that have defined the West’s relations with Russia since the twilight of the Soviet Union—and ensured that collision was only a matter of time.

Download or read book Ukraine and Russia written by Paul D'Anieri and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: D'Anieri explores the dynamics within Ukraine, between Ukraine and Russia, and between Russia and the West, that emerged with the collapse of the Soviet Union and eventually led to war in 2014. Proceeding chronologically, this book shows how Ukraine's separation from Russia in 1991, at the time called a 'civilized divorce', led to what many are now calling 'a new Cold War'. He argues that the conflict has worsened because of three underlying factors - the security dilemma, the impact of democratization on geopolitics, and the incompatible goals of a post-Cold War Europe. Rather than a peaceful situation that was squandered, D'Anieri argues that these were deep-seated pre-existing disagreements that could not be bridged, with concerning implications for the resolution of the Ukraine conflict. The book also shows how this war fits into broader patterns of contemporary international conflict and should therefore appeal to researchers working on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia's relations with the West, and conflict and geopolitics more generally.

Download or read book Russia written by Gregory Carleton and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No nation is a stranger to war, but for Russians war is a central part of who they are. Their “motherland” has been the battlefield where some of the largest armies have clashed, the most savage battles have been fought, the highest death tolls paid. Having prevailed over Mongol hordes and vanquished Napoleon and Hitler, many Russians believe no other nation has sacrificed so much for the world. In Russia: The Story of War Gregory Carleton explores how this belief has produced a myth of exceptionalism that pervades Russian culture and politics and has helped forge a national identity rooted in war. While outsiders view Russia as an aggressor, Russians themselves see a country surrounded by enemies, poised in a permanent defensive crouch as it fights one invader after another. Time and again, history has called upon Russia to play the savior—of Europe, of Christianity, of civilization itself—and its victories, especially over the Nazis in World War II, have come at immense cost. In this telling, even defeats lose their sting. Isolation becomes a virtuous destiny and the whole of its bloody history a point of pride. War is the unifying thread of Russia’s national epic, one that transcends its wrenching ideological transformations from the archconservative empire to the radical-totalitarian Soviet Union to the resurgent nationalism of the country today. As Putin’s Russia asserts itself in ever bolder ways, knowing how the story of its war-torn past shapes the present is essential to understanding its self-image and worldview.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: # 1 BOOK UKRAINE AND RUSSIA WAR With a huge military buildup near the Russian-Ukrainian border and hostile language, Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to threaten an invasion of Ukraine. Russian offensive weapons and systems, such as main battle tanks, self-propelled howitzers, infantry fighting vehicles, multiple launch rocket systems, Iskander short-range ballistic missile systems, and towed artillery, have been deployed within striking distance of Ukraine. Putin has matched this buildup by stating unequivocally that Ukraine has always been a part of Russia and that Kiev must return to the fold. The threat posed by Russia is particularly concerning for at least two reasons. For starters, Russia could immediately deploy its pre-positioned military into Ukraine. If fully committed, the Russian army is substantially stronger and more capable than Ukraine's military. The US and other NATO countries have stated that they will not send troops to Ukraine to oppose a Russian invasion. Even if diplomats strike an agreement, Putin has proven a readiness to escalate--and de-escalate--the war in Ukraine, as well as threaten to widen the conflict, ensuring that Russia remains a threat. As a result, I wrote this book to help you understand all you need to know about the Russia-Ukraine crisis. You'll get the following in this book: The history of Russia The history of Ukraine The history of Russia-Ukraine conflict The major causes of war between Russia and Ukraine What Russia want from Ukraine How Russia attacked Ukraine in February 2022 How the Russia-Ukraine crisis would lead to world war 3 The role of NATO in Russia-Ukraine crisis And more...

As we explore the following pages, we invite the reader on a journey through time and space, unraveling the intertwined threads of history, geopolitics, culture, and ethical dilemmas that have defined this confrontation. Over the course of the following pages, we will discover how historical events, ethnic tensions, and national aspirations were woven together to form a conflict that has defied expectations and ignited fundamental debates about sovereignty, self-determination, and the role of world powers in the contemporary era. This book aims to be a comprehensive and balanced resource that provides multiple perspectives and voices on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, offering readers a panoramic view of its roots, development, and global implications. Throughout these pages, we will explore the narratives of those involved, the responses of the international community, and the consequences the conflict has had on the lives of people in Ukraine and beyond. We hope that this work serves as a valuable contribution to understanding this ever-evolving conflict, providing a starting point for dialogue, reflection, and, ultimately, the search for solutions that can pave the way for a more peaceful future in this region of great strategic and cultural importance.
