An international team of intelligence and psychological operations specialists is tasked with stopping the Kremlin's strategy aimed at destabilizing Europe and the United States. Russian intelligence uses ideological, cultural, religious, ethnic, and separatist factors. It creates and manipulates extreme political tendencies - all in order to destroy Western civilization and then inconspicuously take control over it.

It offers multi-dimensional psychological analyses not found in other books.
Deep Analysis: It provides a condensed analysis of the contemporary world, revealing mechanisms behind significant events such as the annexation of Crimea, Brexit, the US presidential elections, and the rise of separatist, extremist, neo-Nazi, and nationalist movements across Europe.

Title: Needs an editor.
Review: The book itself is interesting and kept my attention ... for the most part. What distracted me throughout were all of the typos and grammar mistakes throughout. The author often repeats himself (how many times do we need to be told that the main character doesn't like to talk too much?). Clearly, this book was self-published. Be this as it may, the author would benefit from using an editor and a proof-reader. Worth the read, but with the caveat that the reading is often frustrating.
