This book is almost 100% incorrect, but you should still read it to understand how isolationists think. Also, this book never mentions several vital facts. After the fall of the USSR in 1991, Ukraine agreed to give up its nukes in exchange for a security guarantee from the USA, the UK, and others but the author never mentions this agreement. Perhaps worst of all Mr. Abelow repeatedly warns against a possible nuclear exchange but also insists that Mr. Putin is motivated by Russia's possible lack of deterrence and he may not have it both ways. Last, the timing of this book could not be worse given Ukraine's battlefield success against the Red Army in the East.
