Our speaker is Peter Macky who has an enduring interest in European history – with an emphasis on Poland and Ukraine. He says they get too little attention, given their pivotal roles in the often-titanic struggle between Europe's west and east. He is about to publish "Mr Putin's War in Ukraine: As it Evolved": a 280-page, 90,000-word, commentary in 52 chapters. |
