War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict

Medea Benjamin, (2022)

Medea Benjamin and Nicolas Davies provide a nuanced analysis of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in their primer, “War In Ukraine.” They argue that while Russia’s invasion is indefensible, Western actions such as NATO expansion and U.S. involvement in the 2014 Ukraine coup have also contributed to the crisis. The book explores the historical context, surveys the involved parties, and examines the risks of escalation towards a potential conflict between the U.S. and Russia. With accessible language and thorough research, it offers readers the opportunity to understand the intricate complexities of the conflict beyond the simplistic narratives portrayed in mainstream media.

Putin’s War on Ukraine.

Ramani, Samuel (2023), ISBN: 9781787388512, HURST.

 

The book discusses the reason why Putin started the war based on domestic factors rather than systematic factors. It states that Putin wants to unify Russians based on common principles which inspired the military actions Russia took over the last decades. 

“This book argues that Putin’s policy of global counter-revolution is driven not by systemic factors, such as preventing NATO expansion, but domestic ones: the desire to unite Russians around common principles and consolidate his personal brand of authoritarianism. This objective has inspired military interventions in Crimea, Donbas and Syria, and now all-out war against Kyiv.”
