Russia'S War On Everybody: And What It Means For You

Russia pushes for more power and influence wherever it can reach. How Russia Gets Its Way explores how, why, and what this has meant, not just for governments, but for ordinary people. Based on years of research into Russia's methods, the book brings together investigations into the military, politics, diplomacy, espionage, cyber power and organised crime to describe how Moscow conducts its campaigns across the globe, and how nobody is too unimportant to be caught up in them. From the Skripal poisoning, and the attempts to assassinate Alexey Navalny, to Russia's most recent invasion of Ukraine, this book describes in new detail not only how Russia undertakes its campaigns of espionage and armed conflict, but also why it gets away with it. Author Keir Giles has spent his career studying the Russian challenge and how best to meet it, as Moscow once again seeks to undermine its adversaries by any means it can. With eye-witness accounts from a dozen countries, and interviews with leading counterterrorism figures, How Russia Gets Its Way brings to life the daily struggle going on to protect countries, governments, businesses, societies and ordinary people from Russian hostility.
