The best things said about it
I think you've written the definitive book on that called Provoked. And I would just want to recommend it to our audience.
Tucker Carlson The Tucker Carlson Show · Jul 2025 I highly recommend for anybody who has not read Scott Horton's phenomenal book Provoked, which really details the history all the way from the collapse of the Soviet Union to through this war.
He is the director of the Libertarian Institute, author of Provoked, a fantastic book and a great friend of the show.
Just again reminding you guys of his book here uh Dave Smith said is an absolute mustre so there's no way I could have read it that quickly uh but it is called provoked and it the subtitle here is how Washington started the new cold war with Russia and the catastrophe in Ukraine.
Candace Owens Candace · Dec 2024 Highly recommend the book, as you guys can tell Scott is a walking encyclopedia.
