Description
Russiaâ?Ts brutal February 2022 invasion of Ukraine has attracted widespread condemnation across the West. Government and media circles present the conflict as a simple dichotomy between an evil empire and an innocent victim. In this concise, accessible and highly informative primer, Medea Benjamin and Nicolas Davies insist the picture is more complicated. Yes, Russiaâ?Ts aggression was reckless and, ultimately, indefensible.A But the Westâ?Ts reneging on promises to halt eastward expansion of NATO in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union played a major part in prompting Putin to act. So didA theA U.S. involvement in the 2014 Ukraine coup and Ukraine's failure to implement the Minsk peace agreements.A The result is a conflict that is increasingly difficult to resolve, one that could conceivably escalate into all-out war between the United States and Russiaâ?"the worldâ?Ts two leading nuclear powers. Skillfully bringing together the historical record and current analysis,A War In UkraineA looks at the events leading up to the conflict, surveys the different parties involved, and weighs the risks of escalation and opportunities for peace. For anyone who wants to get beneath the heavily propagandized media coverage to an understanding of a war with consequences that could prove cataclysmic, reading this timely book will be an urgent necessity.
