The CURD Book is composed of two Parts.

Part I is about the CUTTR Plan, the peace plan for the 2014-2022 Crimean Conflict before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It also touches on the Donbas Conflict between Ukraine and the separatists, to whom the Russians gave a helping hand under the cloak. The full-fledged Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, made this plan obsolete. Part I now serves as optional background reading.

Part II is about the CURD Plan, the comprehensive peace plan for the present Russo-Ukrainian War that started on the day of the Russian invasion. The CURD Plan could nudge both parties to cease fire and negotiate the end of the War. The CURD Plan is more than a peace plan that stops a war; it is a plan that also abolishes any rationale for a future war; it is a reconstruction plan for Ukraine, a plan that does not demand onerous reparations from Russia but allows Ukraine's fair access to Russia's extra assets; it is a redemption plan for Russia which will be welcome back to the world's stage; it is a friendship plan for Russia and Ukraine long after the War.

The CURD Book Timeline

1. 08/27/24 - The authoring draft of Part II is done.
   I finished writing the CURD Plan in raw-text format.
    
2. 05/07/24 - The editorial draft of Part I is done.
   I updated the authoring draft of the CUTTR Plan into the editorial draft of Part I of the CURD Book.
    
3. Winter 2023 - The writing of CURD Plan starts.
   With the PEIS Book released (a few weeks before the Hamas 10/7/23 attack), I shared my time between marketing the PEIS Book and writing about the CURD Plan. This effort eventually produced Part II of the CURD Book.
    
4. 2022-2023 - The development of the CUDR Plan starts.
   Unlike the Crimea Conflict which was called a frozen conflict, the Russo-Ukrainian War was dynamic during this time frame. The CURD Plan needed constant revisions, more in the thinking than writing. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict also became heated, and since the PEIS Book for this conflict was farther along, I concentrated on writing on this book to finish it.
    
5. Summer 2022 - The summary of the CURD Plan is done.
   I finished a rough summary of the CURD Plan based on the CUTTR Plan with some additions regarding the War. I sent the summary to journalists, politicians, and others, but received no feedback. I decided to concentrate on fleshing out the CURD Plan.
    
6. 02/24/22 - The Russian invasion of Ukraine starts.
   I realized the CUTTR Plan was now obsolete. I started to work on the CURD Plan.
    
7. Summer 2021 - The authoring draft of the CUTTR Plan is done.
   The CUTTR Plan did not have enough pages for a stand-alone book. I switched to writing full-time about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and planned to combine the two Frog-In-The-Well solutions into one book.
    
8. Fall 2020 - The CUTTR Plan development starts.
   I shared my writing time between this conflict, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, and the Korean Peninsula Conflict book. Whenever I got stuck in one topic, I switched to the other topics and let the issue simmered.
