About this title

Review:

'Cool, balanced and well sourced...Sakwa gives the best analysis yet in book form' --Jonathan Steele, Guardian

'The great merit of Richard Sakwa s book is its willingness to challenge the prevailing wisdoms about the Ukraine crisis and to explain how its origins lie in the West s failure to create an equitable political and security order in Europe after the collapse of communism... Essential reading to understand the causes and complexities of the Ukraine crisis.'
Angus Roxburgh

'In these fraught times, informed analysis of the causes and context of the crisis is invaluable... Sakwa's account of the crisis is a powerful critique of Western policy towards Ukraine and Russia.'
John Barber, Times Higher Education

'Fascinating... an intelligent, well-researched and thoughtful attempt to explain the major crisis of our time. Anybody, whatever he or she might think of the issue, would benefit from reading it.' --Mail on Sunday

'Frontline Ukraine is a formidably powerful, well-argued and thoroughly sourced attempt to correct world opinion on the Ukrainian conflict. Even those who cannot accept Professor Sakwa s underlying case that the Ukrainian disaster has been brought about more by Western post-Cold War triumphalism than by President Putin s supposed imperialism will find invaluable data and perceptions in this brilliant and hard-hitting book.' --Neal Ascherson
