A leading Ukraine specialist and firsthand witness to the 2014 Kiev Uprising analyzes the world\u2019s newest flashpoint<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The aftereffects of the February 2014 Uprising in Ukraine are still reverberating around the world. The consequences of the popular rebellion and Russian President Putin\u2019s attempt to strangle it remain uncertain. In this book, Andrew Wilson combines a spellbinding, on-the-scene account of the Kiev Uprising with a deeply informed analysis of what precipitated the events, what has developed in subsequent months, and why the story is far from over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wilson situates Ukraine\u2019s February insurgence within Russia\u2019s expansionist ambitions throughout the previous decade. He reveals how President Putin\u2019s extravagant spending to develop soft power in all parts of Europe was aided by wishful thinking in the EU and American diplomatic inattention, and how Putin\u2019s agenda continues to be widely misunderstood in the West. The author then examines events in the wake of the Uprising\u2014the military coup in Crimea, the election of President Petro Poroshenko, the Malaysia Airlines tragedy, rising tensions among all of Russia’s neighbors, both friend and foe, and more. Ukraine Crisis provides an important, accurate record of events that unfolded in Ukraine in 2014. It also rings a clear warning that the unresolved problems of the region have implications well beyond Ukrainian borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andrew Wilson<\/strong> is senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations and reader in Ukrainian Studies at the School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies, University College London. He has published widely on the politics of Eastern Europe, and his book The Ukrainians<\/em> is now in its third edition. He lives in Oxford, UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
