The New Cold War: Putin's Threat to Russia and the West de Edward Lucas

The New Cold War: Putin's Threat to Russia and the West

Autor Edward Lucas
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 iul 2014

The first edition of "The New Cold War" was published to great critical acclaim. Edward Lucas has established himself as a top expert in the field, appearing on numerous programs, including Lou Dobbs, MSNBC, NBC Nightly News, CNN, and NPR.

Since "The" "New Cold War" was first published in February 2008, Russia has become more authoritarian and corrupt, its institutions are weaker, and reforms have fizzled. In this revised and updated third edition, Lucas includes a new preface on the Crimean crisis, including analysis of the dismemberment of Ukraine, and a look at the devastating effects it may have from bloodshed to economic losses. Lucas reveals the asymmetrical relationship between Russia and the West, a result of the fact that Russia is prepared to use armed force whenever necessary, while the West is not. Hard-hitting and powerful, "The New Cold War" is a sobering look at Russia's current aggression and what it means for the world.

Recenzii

Some dismissed this book as scaremongering. They should re-read it now
Essential reading
'Highly informed, crisply written and alarming ... Wise up and stick together is the concluding message in Lucas's outstanding book'
'An impressive polemic arguing that the West still underestimates the danger that Putin's Russia poses ... A useful appeal for vigilance'
'Perceptive and accurate ... the KGB regime is attempting to restore the Soviet Empire'
'If you need a convincing argument for a joined-up EU foreign policy, look no further'

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Revised and updated with a new preface on the Crimean crisis

While most of the world was lauding the stability and economic growth that Vladimir Putin's ex-KGB regime had brought to Russia, Edward Lucas was ringing alarm bells. First published in 2008 and since revised, The New Cold War remains the most insightful and informative account of Russia today. It depicts the regime's crushing of independent institutions and silencing of critics, taking Russia far away from the European mainstream. It highlights the Kremlin's use of the energy weapon in Europe, the bullying of countries in the former Soviet empire, such as Estonia, Georgia and Ukraine - and the way that Russian money weakens the West's will to resist.

Now updated with an incisive analysis of Russia's seizure of Crimea and its destabilisation of Ukraine, The New Cold War unpicks the roots of the Kremlin's ideology and exposes the West's naive belief that Putin's sinister and authoritarian regime might ever be a friend or partner.
