Summary:	"Presciently researched before the invasion of Ukraine, Blowing up Ukraine is the first comprehensive investigation into the lethal methods Russia has used since 1999 to take over Ukraine - culminating in full-blown unprovoked war in 2022 and mounting atrocities. In this chilling, riveting and alarming narrative the authors cite ample evidence, draw historical analogies, and marshal sources that are new, little known, or anonymous by necessity. Over twenty years, Vladimir Putin skilfully manipulated Ukraine's self-serving politicians and oligarchs, only to be thwarted time and again by peaceful revolutions of ordinary Ukrainians - the Maidan - against government corruption and being pushed into Russia's arms. As Putin became obsessed with conquering Ukraine, Blowing up Ukraine shows how the Kremlin has become a threat to global stability and Ukraine is almost certain to be the first battleground of World War III if the West is not careful to take a stance"--Publisher's description.

Description
Summary:	Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine came from nowhere? Felshtinsky and Stanchev's gripping history chronicles Ukraine's story from its origins to its modern day struggle to ward off Russian interference. A bestseller published after Russia annexed the Crimea in 2014 it predicted that the Russian invasion was but a matter of time and argued how it could have been avoided in order to avoid a nuclear conflict that could drag the world into a global war. This is a must-read for those who want to understand the background of the crisis and how we can move forward safely
