The Association of the United States Army selects Brutal Catalyst by Dr. Russell Glenn for its Book Program

Brutal Catalyst: What Ukraine’s Cities Tell Us About Recovery From War has now joined the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) elite book program.

BOULDER, CO, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- KeyPoint Press is proud to announce that Brutal Catalyst: What Ukraine’s Cities Tell Us About Recovery From War has now joined the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) elite book program.

Brutal Catalyst is a compelling new book by Dr. Russ Glenn. Available in hardback, paperback, and eBook formats, this insightful work delves into the recovery challenges that lay ahead for Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict with Russia.

The AUSA Book Program, known for showcasing only the most significant military scholarship, recognizes works that substantially contribute to the understanding of Army heritage and military affairs. The selection of Brutal Catalyst underscores its importance to contemporary military doctrine, strategic planning, and international security. “Brutal Catalyst is a significant contribution to our understanding of post-conflict recovery,” according to Joseph Craig, Director of the AUSA Book Program, “Dr. Glenn's insights are invaluable for anyone interested in the resilience and rebuilding of war-torn nations.”

Dr. Russell W. Glenn, a longtime RAND security affairs analyst, provides a wide-ranging exploration of the myriad challenges facing Ukraine as it strives for survival and post-conflict revitalization. Brutal Catalyst addresses critical issues such as corruption, criminality, and black marketing while also shedding light on lesser-known challenges like the potential prosecution for collaboration of doctors treating patients in Russian-occupied areas and threat posed by Russian disinformation seeking to cultivate ethnic tensions.

Drawing parallels with post-World War II recovery efforts, Dr. Glenn highlights how historical lessons can inform Ukraine's and, by extension, other countries’ worldwide path to peace and prosperity. From the resilience of individual cities to the broader national struggle, Brutal Catalyst offers a comprehensive look at what it takes to rebuild a nation in the face of adversity.

Brutal Catalyst: What Ukraine’s Cities Tell Us About Recovery From War is available now through major booksellers and directly from KeyPoint Press.
