Description

Hotly anticipated debut from an award-winning journalist reveals the hidden story of the Russia-Ukraine proxy war.

In this bombshell investigation, years in the making, Aaron Mate exposes Washington's professed support for Ukrainian sovereignty and democracy as a sham.

Building on the rigorous, fearless reporting that has established him as a leading independent journalist, Mate irrefutably documents how the US and its NATO allies have meddled in Ukraine with the real aim of weakening and destabilizing Russia.

In pursuit of this aggressive geopolitical design, successive US administrations exploited Ukraine's internal divisions and sabotaged every chance for compromise while relentlessly backing Russia into a corner. Gambling with the global economy and risking nuclear war, US planners then provoked and prolonged an illegal Russian invasion that has had catastrophic consequences-for the Ukrainian people above all.

Washington's cynical foreign policy did not just detonate peace in Europe but also deranged politics at home. Controversies around Russia and Ukraine played a pivotal role in three consecutive US presidential campaigns, driving the national hysteria known as "Russiagate" as well as the first impeachment of Donald Trump.

With Trump re-elected in 2024 on a promise to broker peace, Mate presents a groundbreaking account of how the RussiaUkraine conflict came to be, and how a brutal proxy war with existential stakes for humanity can finally be resolved.

Reviews

"One does not have to agree with Mat, and I sometimes do not, but he is one hell of a reporter who knows how to get at the truth"
Seymour Hersh

"Aaron Mat is not only a truth-teller, but a brilliant foreign policy analyst as well. Their Blood, Our Bullets is a first-rate study of the Ukraine War. It thoroughly undermines the conventional wisdom on that unnecessary and catastrophic war. A must read for anyone hoping to transcend Western propaganda about that conflict."
