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.
