Instead, several powerful explosions had destroyed Nord Stream, the $20 billion pipeline system that transported cheap Russian gas to Germany under the Baltic Sea. The mysterious blasts shifted global geopolitics, disrupted European economies, and triggered a manhunt that strained relations within the NATO alliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on years of firsthand reporting, award-winning  Wall Street Journal  correspondent Bojan Pancevski presents the definitive, behind-the-scenes account of this audacious operation. Authorized at the highest levels of Ukraine’s leadership, the mission was ostensibly unofficial and conducted with the utmost secrecy. Pancevski secured exclusive access to the German investigators and their political overseers as well as the Ukrainian agents who executed the attack―a team of intelligence officers, military personnel, and civilian divers. The saboteurs operated on a shoestring budget, using a small rented yacht with a seven-member crew to conduct the strike at great risk in extremely turbulent waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nord Stream Conspiracy  addresses the two leading theories about who was responsible, Russia or the US, and explains how these narratives developed, including the popular US theory involving the CIA, which knew about the plot. This gripping account exposes the human stories and moral complexities behind one of the most remarkable geopolitical mysteries of our time, one that redefined modern warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52891522171167,"sku":"A5807","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/0546\/5119\/files\/ebook_4859_380df9d69a.jpg?v=1789635664","url":"https:\/\/lumobook.store\/products\/the-nord-stream-conspiracy-the-inside-story-of-the-explosions-that-shook-the-world","provider":"LumoBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
