Edward Lucas has a unique background as the child of a family that campaigned against communism, and then a foreign correspondent in Eastern Europe during the collapse of this system. He has since been writing prolifically about dirty money, intelligence, security and geopolitics, and campaigning against kleptocracy and the moral relativism it breeds in the West, years before it was brought to the forefront of the news due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He makes a trenchant analysis of the war, its implications and the required policy choices for NATO, the UK and its Western partners if Putin is to be stopped. He also shares some special thoughts about Romania, a country he knows well, and as a bonus, a series of comments about a famous (or infamous) line in John le Carré's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Edward Lucas is currently campaigning for election to the House of Commons in the British Parliament.
