The Russo-Ukrainian War

In this authoritative history of the conflict in Ukraine, bestselling author Serhii Plokhy delves into the roots and unfolding events of Europe's largest military confrontation since World War II, sparked by Russia's invasion in February 2022. Tracing origins back to the post-Soviet era and earlier tensions, Plokhy explores how Ukraine's resistance and Western unity have emerged against an increasingly isolated Russia. With insights into cultural, political, and historical contexts, he illuminates Ukraine's pivotal role as a battleground between authoritarianism and democratic values in a shifting international landscape.
