The Nord Stream conspiracy: the inside story of the explosions that shook the world
On the shelf? Just pop in.
In September 2022, Scandinavian seismologists picked up tremors that resembled a huge undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption. These signals were caused by several devastating explosions that destroyed Nord Stream, the $20 billion pipeline carrying cheap Russian gas to Europe. The consequences were immediate, shifting global geopolitics, delivering a body blow to one of the world's largest economies, fuelling tensions in the Russo-Ukrainian war and triggering a manhunt that would rupture relations within the NATO alliance. Despite capturing the imagination of millions, the mystery of who blew up the pipeline has so far gone unsolved - was it the CIA? Could Putin himself have been behind it? Was it part of the shadow war between Russia and the West?
