When a Russian missile is pulled from the wreckage of a Ukrainian children’s hospital, its guidance computer turns out to be built from the same ordinary microchips found in dishwashers, cars, and washing machines. The Washing Machine War is the untold story of the hidden supply line that runs from the factory floor to the front line — and the smugglers, shell companies, and enforcement agents fighting a shadow war over the parts that arm the world’s battlefields.
From a Brooklyn electronics shop to a snowbound Estonian border crossing to the order desk where a single compliance officer decides whether to ask one more question, James R. Ferry II takes you inside the enforcement front — the human, criminal, decision-level story that the big-picture books explain from altitude but never enter. It is a field guide to the tells: the red flags, the false end-users, and the circuitous routes that separate an ordinary sale from a war crime.
Equal parts true-crime thriller and practitioner’s manual — drawn entirely from the public record of indictments, penalty orders, and the teardown reports of investigators from Kyiv to Washington — it reveals that in the new economic iron curtain descending between great powers, the last line of defense isn’t a strike force or a sanction. It’s the person holding an order that doesn’t quite add up.
For readers of Chip War and Underground Empire.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
