Title: Rise and fall. The Soviet Union’s grand strategy. Towards the Middle East and the Third World 1917-1991

Description:

From Lenin’s vision of global revolution to Gorbachev’s strategic withdrawal from the Global South, the USSR viewed the Middle East as a pivotal arena for ideological contestation and geopolitical influence. This book traces the rise, zenith, and eventual decline of the Soviet Red Star in the Middle East, offering a comprehensive historical and conceptual analysis of the Soviet Union’s grand strategy in the Middle East from 1917 to 1991. Drawing on extensive archival research from Polish, Ukrainian, NATO, and Soviet-era sources – as well as employing a multidisciplinary approach grounded in strategic studies, international relations, and Cold War historiography – this study uncovers the ideological, geopolitical, military, and economic dimensions of Soviet engagement in the region. In doing so, it also reveals the ongoing relevance of this history for Russia’s contemporary engagement in the Middle East and beyond, especially in the light of Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Dr Ridvan Bari Urcosta is a lecturer at the University of Warsaw’s Department of Strategic Studies and International Security, where he earned his PhD in Security Studies in 2022. His doctoral thesis focused on the Soviet Union’s Grand Strategy towards the Middle East and the Global South, analysing both the geopolitical and ideological aspects of that strategy. He teaches courses titled ‘Russia from the Middle East to the Global South’, ‘Future Warfare’, ‘European Institutions’, and ‘International Military Relations’. In addition to his academic role, Dr Urcosta is an analyst at Geopolitical Futures (formerly Stratfor),a US-based think tank, where he specialises in the Eurasia region. Between March and July 2025, he was a research fellow at the NATO Defence College, Rome. Urcosta’s research project was dedicated to the development of the concept of Singularity Warfare and the applications of cutting-edge technologies (drones and AI) in the Russo-Ukrainian War. He also worked for the Polish think tank ‘Strategy and Future’ for four years. Dr Urcosta was born in Abkhazia, Georgia.

Description:

An astonishing retelling of twentieth-century history from the Ottoman perspective, delivering profound new insights into World War I and the contemporary Middle East

Between 1911 and 1922, a series of wars would engulf the Ottoman Empire and its successor states, in which the central conflict, of course, is World War I-a story we think we know well. As Sean McMeekin shows us in this revelatory new history of what he calls the “wars of the Ottoman succession,” we know far less than we think. The Ottoman Endgame brings to light the entire strategic narrative that led to an unstable new order in postwar Middle East-much of which is still felt today.

"The Ottoman Endgame: War, Revolution, and the Making of the Modern Middle East" draws from McMeekin’s years of groundbreaking research in newly opened Ottoman and Russian archives. With great storytelling flair, McMeekin makes new the epic stories we know from the Ottoman front, from Gallipoli to the exploits of Lawrence in Arabia, and introduces a vast range of new stories to Western readers. His accounts of the lead-up to World War I and the Ottoman Empire’s central role in the war itself offers an entirely new and deeper vision of the conflict. Harnessing not only Ottoman and Russian but also British, German, French, American, and Austro-Hungarian sources, the result is a truly pioneering work of scholarship that gives full justice to a multitiered war involving many belligerents.

McMeekin also brilliantly reconceives our inherited Anglo-French understanding of the war’s outcome and the collapse of the empire that followed. The book chronicles the emergence of modern Turkey and the carve-up of the rest of the Ottoman Empire as it has never been told before, offering a new perspective on such issues as the ethno-religious bloodletting and forced population transfers which attended the breakup of empire, the Balfour Declaration, the toppling of the caliphate, and the partition of Iraq and Syria-bringing the contemporary consequences into clear focus.

Every so often, a work of history completely reshapes our understanding of a subject of enormous historical and contemporary importance. "The Ottoman Endgame" is such a book, an instantly definitive and thrilling example of narrative history as high art.

Description:

Rules? What rules?

Plucky beat reporter Holly Colshannon has a flair for the dramatic, a nose for trouble, and the remarkable ability to smile through any indignity-though her latest assignment is about to test her mettle. Newly “promoted” to crime reporter for the Bristol Gazette, she must shadow the unsmiling (though undeniably delicious) Detective James Sabine through his action-packed days, and then capture all the danger and thrills of a cop’s life in a daily column for the rag.

Well, on the bright side, she gets her own byline. On the down side, delectable James is hardly overjoyed to have her around. But soon her columns are a hit with readers who can’t get enough of her personal adventures riding shotgun with the sexy crime stopper.

Who ever expected law and order to be so romantic? Certainly Holly’s rugby-playing boyfriend and James’s super-gorgeous fiancée are enough to keep any sparks of electricity in check? In the end, though, love always evens the score. . . .
