My book of the year' Alastair Campbell, The Rest Is Politics 'So compelling ... So plausible' New Statesman 'Chilling' Financial Times 'Blistering' Economist 'A cracking book ... Reads like a thriller' Matt Frei, LBC   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?
