Resumen del Editor

Russia's 2022 attack on Ukraine saw confrontation between Moscow and the West spill over into open conflict once again. But Russia has also been waging a clandestine war against the West for decades. Hostile acts abroad, from poisoning dissidents to shooting down airliners, interfering in elections, spying, hacking, and murdering, have long seemed to be the Kremlin's daily business. But what is it all for? Why does Russia consistently behave like this? And what does it achieve?

In this book, Keir Giles explains how and why Russia pushes for more power and influence wherever it can reach, far beyond Ukraine—and what it means not just for governments, but for ordinary people. Bringing together stories from the military, politics, diplomacy, espionage, cyber power, organized crime, and more, Giles describes how Moscow conducts its campaigns across the globe, and how nobody is too unimportant to be caught up in them. By lifting the lid on the daily struggle going on behind the scenes to protect governments, businesses, societies, and people from Russian hostile activity, Russia's War On Everybody shows how Moscow's hostile intentions for the rest of the world are far broader and more ambitious, and the ways it tries to achieve them far more pervasive and damaging, than we realize.

Excellent and very informative.

The West will ignore the lessons of this book at its own profound peril. Extremely relevant at this point in history.

Clear, Concise, and Accurate!

This book offers a sobering, accurate, and easy to comprehend assessment of Russia’s Foreign Policy projection and its implications for those who are not Russia analysts or academics. For those who are, it is a wonderful resource of information.

A good read if interested on current Russia

Not too much fluff straight to the point. Would recommend if you are interested in recent events in Russia and Ukraine.

An Eye Opener

Leir Giles does away with well-worn arguments from «useful idiots» supporting Russia imperialism. He also shows Russia’s willingness to do harm to other countries by any means. Russia apologists should read this book, including the Chinese.

Excellent and interesting

It’s a privilege to read something like this from a true expert. The narration is excellent and the content is interesting from start to finish. This book really delivers on the subject matter. Listening to this in mid 2023, it feels like everyone should be required to hear/read this.
