Overview
This two-book nonfiction bundle pairs two chillingly plausible political scenarios for readers who love geopolitics and current-affairs thrillers. Carlo Masala's If Russia Wins imagines a Baltic flashpoint after a Russian victory in Ukraine, while Peter Chappell's What If Reform Wins charts a speculative Farage premiership in Britain. Both titles use rigorous, fact-based scenario writing to explore real-world stakes, making this set a timely pick for students, policy watchers, and anyone following the headlines. Brand new and ready to gift or add to any current-affairs shelf.

About the Books
If Russia Wins, by military expert and Professor of International Relations Carlo Masala, is a tightly argued scenario set in March 2028, after a Russian victory in Ukraine, as Putin's forces push into the Baltic states. Drawing on his work with NATO and contacts across European defense ministries, Masala walks through how Article 5, alliance unity, and the risk of wider war might play out, translated from the original German edition that became a #1 bestseller on first publication. What If Reform Wins, by Times reporter Peter Chappell, takes a similar day-by-day scenario approach to British politics, opening on election night 2029 as exit polls predict a Reform UK majority under Nigel Farage. Drawing on dozens of original interviews, Chappell traces what a Reform government might attempt in office, from mass deportations to leaving the European Convention on Human Rights and scrapping the BBC license fee, and how institutions and the public might respond under pressure. Together the two books share a mission: using careful research and brisk pacing to make abstract political risk feel immediate and concrete. Readers who enjoy political thrillers, foreign affairs commentary, or speculative nonfiction will find both volumes absorbing, discussion-worthy additions to a current-affairs collection, equally suited to a quick weekend read or a book club pick that sparks real debate about where today's politics could lead.
