Book Description

'Dark and compelling . . . Brilliant' BILL BROWDER

'More gripping than a thriller' ANDREY KURKOV

'A master chronicler' CHARLIE ENGLISH

Betrayal charts the dramatic collapse of the post-1945 international system. The agreement that nations do not change borders by force is under attack, not just from Russia but America, too. Donald Trump has threatened to seize Greenland and bombed Iran as part of a violent remaking of the Middle East. Vladimir Putin’s bloody imperial campaign to seize Ukraine and redraw Europe’s map continues. Meanwhile, China eyes up Taiwan.

Written in thrilling style, this vital and clear-eyed book reports from the frontlines during an age of upheaval. Luke Harding visits villages in eastern Ukraine under Russian bombardment, talks to Greenlanders about a US takeover, tours the divided Korean peninsula and sits down with Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He examines why Trump appears to be in thrall to Putin and tracks Russian spies and their links with Nigel Farage’s Reform party. Betrayal is an essential guide to brutal Great Power politics and how it came back.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Betrayal is as dark and compelling as a Le Carre spy thriller. It tells the story of how imperialism came back and lays bare Russian attempts to subvert British politics, through bribery and espionage. Brilliant. -- Bill Browder

A fascinating and fast-paced account from a master chronicler of Putin's wars. -- Charlie English

Rarely can a non-fiction book be more gripping than a good thriller, but Betrayal is precisely that. Luke Harding, who knows Ukraine and all its front lines like the back of his hand, hasn't limited himself to military action and the unknown details of special military operations. This book weaves together the global military history of the last eighty years and the current reality of global politics, in which the war in Ukraine has become a lever capable of changing the future of many countries, including the United States. -- Andrey Kurkov

War reporting at its finest. Luke Harding tells the story of the largest war of the twenty-first century like no-one else, moving from Kyiv and the front lines of Ukraine to Moscow, Washington D.C. and Pyongyang to reveal the war’s global reach and the stakes it has raised. -- Serhii Plokhy

Harding knows how to weave reportage into a book that captivates the reader like a good novel and helps them to see events they know from news flashes as coherent entities. -- Sofi Oksanen

Essential reading... a valuable chronicle of recent history and its human cost. Somehow, despite all the chaos and uncertainty, it ends on a note of hope. ― Sunday Independent

Betrayal is one of the most important books published this year, and I urge you to read it. -- Sian Norris ― openDemocracy

Luke Harding demolishes the failed politics of dealing with Putin and Trump. For English reading citizens this is the best recent book on the Putin attack on democracy and the betrayal of democracy by Donald Trump. Vivid and readable. -- Denis MacShane
