You may not be interested in Russia. But Russia is interested in you. Russia' s 2022 attack on Ukraine saw confrontation between Moscow and the West spill over into open conflict once again. But Russia has also been waging a clandestine war against the West for decades. Hostile acts abroad, from poisoning dissidents to shooting down airliners, interfering in elections, spying, hacking and murdering, have long seemed to be the Kremlin' s daily business. But what is it all for? Why does Russia consistently behave like this? And what does it achieve? In this book, Keir Giles explains how and why Russia pushes for more power and influence wherever it can reach, far beyond Ukraine - and what it means not just for governments, but for ordinary people. Bringing together stories from the military, politics, diplomacy, espionage, cyber power, organised crime and more, Giles describes how Moscow conducts its campaigns across the globe, and how nobody is too unimportant to be caught up in them. By lifting the lid on the daily struggle going on behind the scenes to protect governments, businesses, societies and people from Russian hostile activity, Russia' s War On Everybody shows how Moscow' s hostile intentions for the rest of the world are far broader and more ambitious, and the ways it tries to achieve them far more pervasive and damaging, than we realise.
An important book. -- Martin Chilton * The Independent * Keir Giles has long been one of the most informed and consistent voices warning about the threat Putin' s Russia poses its neighbours and the West as a whole, and this book is a combative and comprehensive assessment of the challenge. . . it deserves to be read and discussed widely, not least to get us thinking about what else we may face in the future. * Professor Mark Galeotti, author of ' We Need To Talk About Putin' * Russia' s War on Everybody is an invaluable and timely wake up call. . . a thought provoking, comprehensive and excellent book that should be absorbed by all those concerned with the progression and eventual outcome of what is by now a long term struggle between Russia as at present misgoverned and a wide swathe of the rest of the world. * Sir Andrew Wood, British Ambassador to Moscow, 1995-2000 * Keir Giles presents an essential text on understanding modern Russia' s role in the world, delivering a deep-dive into the many facets of the Russian mindset when dealing with the West. * Eliot Higgins, Founder and Director of Bellingcat * Keir Giles' Russia' s War on Everybody is relevant, timely, and essential for understanding why Russia must be defeated. . . not only in Ukraine but in its war on everybody. * LTG (Ret) Ben Hodges, Human Rights First * Nobody cuts through the nonsense around what Russia does, and why it does it, like Keir Giles. If anybody was still in any doubt about why Russia is everybody' s problem, the answers are here. Keir Giles lays out clearly and simply why Russia' s war is not just against Ukraine - it' s against all of us. * Toomas Hendrik Ilves, Former President of Estonia * A compelling text on why Russia is a threat not just to the Western world as such, it' s a threat to every citizen; directly and maliciously. A threat to your way of life and your loved ones. Just because its mere legitimization is not possible without such a threat. * Pavlo Klimkin, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine *
