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 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 Rarely can a non-fiction book be more gripping than a good thriller, but Betrayal is precisely that. . . 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
