The World After Ukraine

De: Garry Kasparov

An incisive analysis of the failures that led to war in Ukraine and where we go from here, from Russian chess grandmaster and early Putin-critic, Garry Kasparov, with a foreword from Zelensky.

What happens when you ignore the writing on the wall?

For over a decade, Russian chess grandmaster, writer and political activist Garry Kasparov shouted early warnings about the rise of demagogues like Trump, about tech stagnation that could lead to pandemics, and, most presciently of all, about the failure of the world to stand up to Putin before he launched his bloody invasion of Ukraine. Kasparov's predictions and moral compass have unerringly pointed true.

Now, with his trademark precision, the master strategist diagnoses where it all went wrong. He identifies the most immediate dangers facing the world in the wake of war in Ukraine, and maps out how to confront and resolve them. We don't need politicking, punditry, or preaching - we need a plan.

Drawing on his own remarkable life as well as hundreds of examples from history and current events, Kasparov argues for bold thinking and bolder action. He defends the values of innovation, freedom, risk, sacrifice, growth, and justice. There is good and evil in the world, he reminds us. There is progress and decay, liberty and tyranny, and we must choose. The world is not a chessboard, but some things are black and white.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Winter is Coming:
Ferocious and unforgiving . . . This is a book that should be read by every policymaker dealing with Russia (or any other autocracy)

It's always important to read Garry Kasparov, who warned of the dangers of Putinism long before so many others. He is that rare thing: A Russian democrat who is realistic about his country, but remains hopeful for the future (Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gulag and Iron Curtain)

In this punchy polemic, Kasparov reflects on how far the world has gone from the heady end of history days of the early 1990s to what some see as the advent of a new Cold War . . . Kasparov's moral clarity is admirable and informed by personal experience
