The book "The Troubles That Determined the Fate of Nations"

"Troubles that determined the fate of nations" is a book about the dark side of history, about what is ashamed of, and what is usually left out of national histories. They are not proud of defeats, they do not remember them, they try to forget them. However, isn't this experience more instructive and useful than the joy of victories? About illusions and miscalculations - conscious and not so, about the wrong choice for which they paid too high a price, about the traps that states fall into in search of their place in the world. Is it possible to gain freedom at the price of independence? Why invite future colonizers? Why did the shortest war in history last only 38 minutes? Why gold for those who can make money out of thin air? What are the dangers of believing in secret conspiracies? And how to make one's own subjects allies of foreign invaders? Byzantium and Carthage, Haiti and New Zealand, Britain and China. It is better for Ukrainians to learn from whose mistakes, so as not to make their own mistakes...
