A key work on German policy towards Russia.

Russia's attack on Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world – but many warnings had been issued for years. A compelling investigation shows... Katja Gloger and Georg MascoloThe book examines how warning signs of Putin's course were ignored and critical voices in German policy towards Russia were overlooked. Based on numerous classified documents and interviews with contemporary witnesses, the authors reconstruct a political development riddled with miscalculations, illusions, and suppressed warning signals. Their book is considered a key analysis for understanding German foreign policy over the past decades—and the current security situation in Europe. Katja Gloger, an award-winning journalist and Eastern European historian, reported on Russia and international security policy for over 30 years, including as a correspondent in Moscow and Washington. Georg Mascolo, long-time editor-in-chief of Spiegel and one of Germany's leading investigative journalists, led the research collaboration between NDR, WDR and Süddeutsche Zeitung. 

A highly topical contribution to the analysis of German policy towards Russia – fact-rich, critical and compelling.
