Critics Review
What makes Masala’s scenario so compelling - and unnerving - is that it is so plausible – Katie Stallard * New Statesman *
Amazing … My book of the year * Alastair Campbell, The Rest Is Politics *
Blistering … An engrossing and chilling tale … Masala’s scenario illuminates why Europe needs to take its own defence more seriously * Economist *
Worryingly resonant * Sunday Times *
An excellent, very short book…. A chilling read but one we all need to take heed of * Lewis Goodall, LBC *
Chilling … A stark warning of Nato’s need to deter Putin * Financial Times *
Chilling … Sharply focused … A succinct, high-impact warning of what happens when deterrence is eroded and alliances fail to act-in an age of hybrid war * Nordic Defence Review *
This short book should be read widely. The one hundred or so pages could be read by any politician in a single evening. It would be time well spent * Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Germany) *
Masala and other security experts have been warning of such a situation for years … A gripping read * Süddeutsche Zeitung (Germany) *
A geopolitical thriller * Das Parlament (Germany) *
A cracking book … Reads like a thriller – Matt Frei * LBC *
A warning to the west * BBC, The Global Story *
Frighteningly realistic * City AM *
