“Putin’s Dangerous Gamble: How the Invasion of Ukraine Backfired on Russia” is Volume I of “The Ukraine Reckoning Trilogy”, a bold and gripping examination of how one of the world’s most powerful leaders made a catastrophic strategic miscalculation. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was designed to intimidate, dominate, and end swiftly. Instead, it exposed military decay, economic vulnerability, and fatal arrogance inside the Kremlin. This book traces how Ukraine defied expectations by uniting its people, innovating on the battlefield, and reclaiming significant territory against a larger aggressor. It reveals how Western resolve hardened rather than fractured, how sanctions crippled Russia’s leverage, how President Putin’s energy blackmail collapsed, and how technology and drones reshaped modern warfare.

Written in a fast-paced, cinematic style, this first volume sets the foundation for the trilogy by showing how aggression can weaken power faster than restraint. It is a story of miscalculation, resistance, and consequences—and a warning about what happens when authoritarian ambition collides with national will.
