The war in Ukraine is putting Germany?s political and economic actions to the test. For decades, Ukraine, the second-largest state in Europe, was overlooked and Russia was courted. With fatal consequences. Germany has failed, as Sabine Adler states, an expert on Eastern Europe. Her analysis focuses not only on Ukraine and the current war, but above all on Germany?s role?in economic, political, and media terms?in relation to the country invaded by Russia. As a long-standing and clear-sighted observer, she gives a critical assessment: Political omissions, lobbyism, double standards, and a mendacious pacifism were dominant for long periods. Time for the West to learn from the bad example of Germany and to follow a sensible policy! "Rarely do many years of local knowledge and familiarity with the history of the setting come together to such an extent as in Sabine Adler's Ukraine book. This is a long-overdue read!" ?Prof Dr Karl Schloegel, University of Konstanz and European University Viadrina, Frankfurt/Oder. "Dramatically enlightening book." ?Christian Thomas, Frankfurter Rundschau (2023-01-14) "An authoritative contribution." ?Natascha Freundel, RBB Kulturradio (2023-01-10) "Adler judges wisely and razor-sharp." ?Viola Schenz, Sueddeutsche Zeitung (2022-10-04) "Sabine Adler's judgment is unflinching and free of doubt." ?Peter Koepf, Karenina (2022-09-26) "Adler manages with her book to hold a mirror up to us. She points out the errors in thinking." ?Paul Toetzke, Liberal Modern(2022-09-07) "This book explains a lot. You will be wiser afterwards." ?Joerg Thadeusz, WDR 2 (2022-08-29) "This might be unique at the moment, this form of depth of insight." ?Bernd Schekauski, MDR Kultur (2022-08-18)
