Well, hello, this is unusual in that I am making the introductions today, Alexander McHuris.

I have my co-host and friend and colleague on many programs, Professor Glenn Dyson of Oslo University,

a person with much experience of international relations, a person with great scholarship and experience and skill in scholarship.

And this is going to be a different programme in some ways from some of the programs that we've been doing recently,

in that it is actually a discussion between the two of us.

And the reason we are having this discussion is because Professor Deeson has written,

and it's just been published, and it can be found on Amazon, and in other places, a book, a new book,

and it is about the Ukraine War and the new Eurasian

world order.

And I have been reading the book with tremendous interest over the last couple of days.

I should say that I found it a page turner. I found it difficult to put it down.

It is absolutely gripping. And it is different from every other book I have read about the

conflict in Ukraine. Most books that I know about the conflict in Ukraine focus specifically on Ukraine.

They talk about Ukraine itself, about its divisions, about the factions there, about the internal

conflicts, about the history, the relationship with Russia, the involvement of the West, the diplomacy,

all of those things.

You'll find all of that also, by the way, in Professor Deeson's book.

But what makes it unique, what makes it absolutely fascinating, is that Glenn has,

explain all of that, put that all in the context of the development of international relations today, the change in the shape of international relations.

And the way that this conflict has risen cannot be understood, and that's absolutely

clear from this book, without an understanding in the development of international relations.

And the key, the clue to that, is in the title, which refers to the emerging to the new Eurasian world order now
