Sinossi

In "Results and Prospects," Leon Trotsky presents a profound analysis of the Russian Revolution and the trajectory of socialism, articulated through a Marxist lens. This seminal work is characterized by Trotsky's vivid prose, theoretical rigor, and a sense of urgency that reflects the tumultuous period in which it was written. Published in 1906, the book examines the revolutionary potential of the proletariat, critiques both reformist and opportunist elements within the working-class movements, and postulates the necessity for a global revolution to realize socialist ideals. Through these explorations, Trotsky situates his writing within the broader context of early 20th-century Marxism, making it essential for understanding the ideological battles of the era. Trotsky, a key figure in the Bolshevik Revolution and a staunch advocate for permanent revolution, draws upon his personal experiences and radical political activity to inform his analysis. His intellectual journey, marked by his opposition to Stalin's bureaucratic regime, imbues "Results and Prospects" with a sense of urgency and conviction about revolutionary theory. Trotsky's unique perspective, shaped by his historical involvement in both theory and practice, enhances the text's authority and relevance. This book is highly recommended for those interested in revolutionary theory, political history, and the complexities of socialist thought. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Trotsky's insights illuminating as they grapple with the ongoing struggles for social justice and equality in contemporary society. "Results and Prospects" is not merely a historical account; it is a clarion call for continued revolutionary action.

Governing by Fake News

Jacques Baud

What are Islamic State is seeking to create a civil war in France; that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons; that Vladimir Putin is trying to destabilise our democracies; that terrorism has struck France, not for what it does, but for what it is; that the genocide in Darfur has claimed 400,000 victims?... Literally none, but these assertions are enough to establish the foreign policy of Western countries. The author, a former agent of the Swiss strategic intelligence service, reviews the main contemporary conflicts that Western countries have managed with fake news over the last thirty years.

Ukraine and the Art of Strategy

Lawrence Freedman

The Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, subsequent war in Eastern Ukraine, and economic sanctions imposed by the West transformed European politics. The conflict did not escalate to the levels originally feared but nor was either side able to bring it to a definitive conclusion. Ukraine suffered a loss of territory but was not forced into changing its policies away from the Westward course adopted as a result of the EuroMaidan uprising of February 2014. President Putin was left supporting a separatist enclave as Russia's economy suffered significant damage. 
 
 
 
Ukraine and the Art of Strategy provides an account of the origins and course of the Russia-Ukraine conflict through the lens of strategy. Lawrence Freedman describes the development of President Putin's anxieties that former Soviet countries were being drawn towards the European Union, the effective pressure he put on President Yanokvych of Ukraine to turn away from the EU, and the resulting "EuroMaidan Revolution" which led to Yanukovych fleeing. He explores the reluctance of Putin to use Russian forces to do more that consolidate the insurgency in Eastern Ukraine, the failure of the Minsk peace process, and the limits of the international response. Putin's strategic-making is kept in view at all times, including his use of "information warfare" and attempts to influence the American election.

Stephen Alford, Alastair Benn,...

The public appetite for spies, both real and fictional, seems inexhaustible. But where and when did spying begin and how has the art and craft of espionage developed over the centuries? Spies in History is a collection of portraits of some of the most famous spies we know, but it also includes some lesser known and more surprising names. A remarkable line-up of distinguished historians, scholars and writers examine the evolution of intelligence and counter-intelligence – from ancient times to the Cold War and the age of Putin, Trump and Xi Jinping – to reveal the truth about espionage and the myths that surround it.

Defectors - How the Illicit...

Erik R. Scott

Defectors fleeing the Soviet Union seized the world's attention during the Cold War. Their stories were given sensational news coverage and dramatized in spy novels and films. Upon reaching the West, they were entitled to special benefits, including financial assistance and permanent residency. In contrast to other migrants, defectors were pursued by the states they left even as they were eagerly sought by the United States and its allies. Taking part in a risky game that played out across the globe, defectors sought to transcend the limitations of the Cold War world. 
 
 
 
Defectors follows their treacherous journeys and looks at how their unauthorized flight via land, sea, and air gave shape to a globalized world. It charts a global struggle over defectors that unfolded among rival intelligence agencies operating in the shadows of an occupied Europe, in the forbidden border zones of the USSR, in the disputed straits of the South China Sea, on a hijacked plane 10,000 feet in the air, and around the walls of Soviet embassies. 
 
 
 
Although defection all but disappeared after the Cold War, this innovative work shows how it shaped the governance of global borders and helped forge an international refugee system whose legacy and limitations remain with us to this day.
