**THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER**

March 2028: Russian troops capture the small Estonian town of Narva and the island of Hiiumaa in the Baltic Sea. After victory in Ukraine, Putin's long-mooted encroachment into the Baltic states has begun. Europe's slow rearmament and its compromised military and intelligence capabilities is now clear for its enemies to exploit. Does Article 5 of NATO apply? What will the alliance decide? Will they risk nuclear war?

In If Russia Wins, military expert and Professor of International Relations at the University of Munich, Carlo Masala explores these questions and underlines what is at stake in Ukraine in the starkest possible terms.

For those of us who have only ever known peace, we are accustomed to everything turning out well in the end. But what if it doesn't?

A fascinating story, badly let down by the fact that it sounds as if it is being read by really bad A.I.

As recommended by Alastair Campbell on The Rest is Politics.

Carlo Masala betoogt dat een Russische overwinning geen lokaal conflict afsluit, maar een mondiaal tijdperk van instabiliteit inluidt. Hij hanteert hierbij een realistisch perspectief op internationale betrekkingen.
​Scenario-denken: Het boek verkent de militaire, politieke en economische domino-effecten.
​Machtsbalans: De auteur stelt dat afschrikking de enige taal is die het Kremlin verstaat.

Nuchterheid: Masala vermijdt wensdenken en focust op harde machtspolitiek.
