For the twenty years preceding the war, Ukraine was a land of turbulence and transformation wrought by poor leadership. From the concerts of the Orange Revolution to the war chants of the Euromaidan, this compelling account is told through Ukraine’s five presidential terms of the last twenty years leading up to the war and the disappointments, failures, and glimmers of hope in between. The readers are taken through a geopolitical chess game on the battlefield of major world powers and the unyielding spirit of the Ukrainian people fighting for freedom, democracy, and a European future.
