challenging informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

Finally an honest look at the Russia Ukraine conflict from an anti-war perspective. It's short and to the point and tackles the history and main causes as well as all propaganda, both US and Russian. Read and test your knowledge - did you believe all the propaganda or did you sort it out?

"Yes, Russia’s aggression was reckless and, ultimately, indefensible. But—"

The rest of the book is dispensable.

I applaud Medea Benjamin and company for getting this much-needed book out in record time. If Americans each had this book in hand, they might read it. And if they did they would understand the complexity of the geopolitical power play that got us into the Ukraine war. They might be chastened to learn the role of the US and NATO in precipitating the conflict. They might consider the existential reality of how close this conflict has brought the world to the brink of total annihilation. They might realize this is not the World Cup us-against-the Evil Empire black and white ball game. They might take a hard look at their government and what it has wrought on a global scale and discover that it has not been what it’s said it was. And then they might join together with the rest of the ordinary people of the world and demand world peace and a ban on all nuclear weapons.

Then we’d be ready to tackle the other existential threat to life on earth - the climate crisis.
