Summary:

"You might not be interested in Russia. But Russia is interested in you. How Russia Gets Its Way puts the pieces of the jigsaw together to explain how and why Russia pushes for more power and influence wherever it can reach -- and what it means not just for governments, but for ordinary people. Based on years of research into Russia's methods, it brings together investigations into the military, politics, diplomacy, espionage, cyber power and organised crime to describe how Moscow conducts its campaigns across the globe, and how nobody is too unimportant to be caught up in them. From the Skripal poisoning to the recent attempts to assassinate Alexey Navalny, this book describes in new detail not only how Russia undertakes its espionage but why it gets away with it. Author Keir Giles has spent his career studying the Russian challenge and how best to meet it, as Moscow once again seeks to undermine its adversaries by any means it can. With eye-witness accounts from a dozen countries, and interviews with leading counterterrorism figures, How Russia Gets Its Way also brings to life the daily struggle going on behind the scenes to protect governments, businesses, societies and ordinary people from Russian hostility."-- Provided by publisher.
