description: “Benjamin Tallis’ essays about Ukraine and the current geopolitical situation in Europe are insightful and thought-provoking. Tallis has a deep understanding of how Ukrainians see their European future and offers useful and perceptive advice on how the EU should approach its relations with Ukraine going forward." Kateryna Yushchenko, former First Lady of Ukraine."Ben Tallis has long been one of the most trenchant commentators on European security and this collection showcases his writings on Ukraine with which I may not always agree but always find cogent, thought-provoking and passionate." Prof. Mark Galeotti, RUSI &amp; Mayak Intelligence"Ukraine's war against Russia is a game-changer for Europe and the world. Many people tried to explain it but Benjamin Tallis comprehensively puts it into a global context: it's a chance for the West to rethink itself and its role in the 21st century. The West is back - together with Ukraine." Pavlo Klimkin, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine."Benjamin Tallis has established himself as one of Europe’s most articulate and forceful advocates for support for Ukraine. This collection links his calls for a more assertive European and German policy to this principled stand and how he sees the future of European security as inextricably tied to a Ukrainian victory. A worthy read for anyone interested in Europe today and in the future." Phillips P O’Brien, Professor of IR, University of St Andrews."An important collection on one of the most vexing problems in European security today - how Europe is responding to the collapse of the Post WW2 consensus forbidding aggression and use of force to change borders." Toomas Hendrik Ilves, former President of Estonia."Benjamin Tallis cuts through Europe’s often muddled response to Russia’s war in Ukraine, providing a clear-eyed analysis of why Ukraine matters for the future of Europe and of Western democracy." Minna Ålander, FIIA"With this gem-like collection of hard-hitting and deeply relevant essays, Benjamin Tallis shows why he is part of the small but mighty group of writers, policy heads &amp; thought leaders — alongside Anne Applebaum, Timothy Snyder, Garry Kasparov &amp; Benjamin Schmitt — who understand the need for victory over Russia in Ukraine and in our own societies." Chris Alexander, former Canadian Ambassador &amp; Minister of Citizenship and Immigration."Benjamin has been an important voice, fighter for democracy, and amazing friend to Ukraine." Olga Lautmann, Senior Fellow, CEPA."A must-read collection of some of the most vital writings on the conflict of our times - scholars and practitioners both will look back at this as a warning and a road map for the West out of our darkest hour." William Alberque, Director of Strategy, Technology and Arms Control, IISS."Benjamin Tallis is an urgent voice of moral clarity. His insights are essential to understanding the global struggle of democracy versus dictatorship, and the world's shared responsibility for ensuring victory for Ukraine and a prosperous democratic future."
