"Superb . coherent and eminently readable. Giles brings home the causes and consequences of Moscow's actions to the average reader. Russia's War on Everybody is an invaluable piece of a growing mosaic of renewed expertise on, and interest in, Russia. It is a needed accompaniment to the more academic reflections on the Kremlin's behavior. Giles is a welcome guide for readers along this path." -- Diplomatic Courier "Giles is as engaging as he is acerbic, demanding that the audience both think and feel their way through the narrative. Underpinning it all is a deep compassion for the overlooked victims, which is more compelling than anger alone could be .

Russia's War on Everybody earns my strongest recommendation." -- E-International Relations "[Giles's] analysis of the way the current government thinks and acts should be taken seriously. He has an excellent grasp of Putin's view of the world." -- The Conversation "An important book." --Martin Chilton, The Independent "An important and timely book that covers the range of current activities of Russia's ruling regime, discussing issue areas that are only going to become more important in coming decades." -- War in Ukraine: Update from Kyiv "An essential text on understanding modern Russia's role in the world, delivering a deep dive into the many facets of the Russian mindset when dealing with the West." -- Eliot Higgins, founder and director of Bellingcat "Keir Giles has long been one of the most informed and consistent voices warning about the threat Putin's Russia poses its neighbours and the West as a whole, and this book is a combative and comprehensive assessment of the challenge. it deserves to be read and discussed widely, not least to get us thinking about what else we may face in the future.

" -- Professor Mark Galeotti, author of 'We Need To Talk About Putin' "Nobody cuts through the nonsense around what Russia does, and why it does it, like Keir Giles. If anybody was still in any doubt about why Russia is everybody's problem, the answers are here. Keir Giles lays out clearly and simply why Russia's war is not just against Ukraine - it's against all of us." -- Toomas Hendrik Ilves, Former President of Estonia "An invaluable and timely wake up call. A thought provoking, comprehensive and excellent book that should be absorbed by all those concerned with the progression and eventual outcome of what is by now a long term struggle between Russia as at present misgoverned and a wide swathe of the rest of the world." -- Sir Andrew Wood, British Ambassador to Moscow, 1995-2000 "Relevant, timely, and essential for understanding why Russia must be defeated, not only in Ukraine but in its war on everybody." -- LTG (Ret) Ben Hodges, Human Rights First "A compelling text on why Russia is a threat not just to the Western world as such, it's a threat to every citizen; directly and maliciously. A threat to your way of life and your loved ones.

Just because its mere legitimization is not possible without such a threat." -- Pavlo Klimkin, Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine "This is a highly detailed and readable book. Referenced to a high standard, the reader can really dig into the sources of information, and it is academic in its framing and development of arguments without compromising its readability. Taking a completely different approach to most books, it really digs into why Russia acts as it does, and what it hopes to achieve. This is an important distinction and adds significant value compared to a lot of more recent narrative assessments of wider Russian malign activity." --James Burton, Wavell Room.
