'More gripping than a thriller' ANDREY KURKOV
'A master chronicler' CHARLIE ENGLISH
Betrayal charts the dramatic collapse of the post-1945 international system. The agreement that nations do not change borders by force is under attack, not just from Russia but America, too. Donald Trump has threatened to seize Greenland and bombed Iran as part of a violent remaking of the Middle East. Vladimir Putin's bloody imperial campaign to seize Ukraine and redraw Europe's map continues. Meanwhile, China eyes up Taiwan.
Written in thrilling style, this vital and clear-eyed book reports from the frontlines during an age of upheaval. Luke Harding visits villages in eastern Ukraine under Russian bombardment, talks to Greenlanders about a US takeover, tours the divided Korean peninsula and sits down with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He examines why Trump appears to be in thrall to Putin and tracks Russian spies and their links with Nigel Farage's Reform party. Betrayal is an essential guide to brutal Great Power politics and how it came back.
