Betrayal
Trump's Deal with Russia and the New Age of Conquest
An unparalleled guide to the shattering of the international order.
Betrayal charts the dramatic collapse of the post-1945 international system and America’s pivot under Donald Trump towards Russia. Trump has effectively endorsed Putin’s land-grab in Ukraine and menaces allies in Europe and beyond. Meanwhile, the anti-western alliance between China, Russia, North Korea and Iran – recently at war with Israel – has deepened.
Written in thrilling style, this vital and clear-eyed book reports from the frontline of a new age of conquest. Luke Harding visits villages in Ukraine under Russian bombardment, talks to Greenlanders about a US takeover, tours the Korean peninsula and gives a definitive account of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s disastrous meeting with Trump in the Oval Office.
Harding is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and journalist. He offers an essential guide to help us understand the return of brutal great power politics.
