I have written this book because I cannot stay silent. I believe that the European Union, NATO, and their leading voices have not been honest about the roots of this conflict, nor about the potential consequences of their actions. They are not defending freedom—they are sleepwalking multitudes into annihilation.

This is not an anti-Western book, nor is it a pro-Russian one. It is an alarm, written in the language of conscience, faith, and sober realism. If it offends, so be it. If it awakens, let it do so loudly.
