From Cold War To Hot Peace: An American Ambassador in Putin's Russia: Cărțile Sidoniei Bogdan
Autor Michael McFaulen Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 mai 2018
From
one
of
America’s
leading
scholars
of
Russia who
served
as
U.S.
ambassador
to
Russia
during
the
Obama
administration,
a
revelatory,
inside
account
of
U.S.-Russia
relations
from
1989
to
the
present
In
2008,
when
Michael
McFaul
was
asked
to
leave
his
perch
at
Stanford
and
join
an
unlikely
presidential
campaign,
he
had
no
idea
that
he
would
find
himself
at
the
beating
heart
of
one
of
today’s
most
contentious
and
consequential
international
relationships.
As
President
Barack
Obama’s
adviser
on
Russian
affairs,
McFaul
helped
craft
the
United
States’
policy known
as
“reset”
that
fostered
new
and
unprecedented
collaboration
between
the
two
countries.
And
then,
as
U.S.
ambassador
to
Russia
from
2012
to
2014,
he
had
a
front-row
seat
when
this
fleeting,
hopeful
moment
crumbled
with
Vladimir
Putin’s
return
to
the
presidency.
This
riveting
inside
account
combines
history
and
memoir
to
tell the
full
story
of
U.S.-Russia
relations
from
the
fall
of
the
Soviet
Union
to
the
new
rise
of
the
hostile,
paranoid Russian
president.
From
the
first
days
of
McFaul’s
ambassadorship,
the
Kremlin
actively
sought
to
discredit
and
undermine
him,
hassling
him
with
tactics
that
included
dispatching
protesters
to
his
front
gates,
slandering
him
on
state
media,
and
tightly
surveilling
him,
his
staff,
and
his
family.
From
Cold
War
to
Hot
Peaceis
an
essential
account
of
the
most
consequential
global
confrontation
of
our
time.

Descriere
From one of America’s leading scholars of Russia who served as U.S. ambassador to Russia during the Obama administration, a revelatory, inside account of U.S.-Russia relations from 1989 to the present
In 2008, when Michael McFaul was asked to leave his perch at Stanford and join an unlikely presidential campaign, he had no idea that he would find himself at the beating heart of one of today’s most contentious and consequential international relationships. As President Barack Obama’s adviser on Russian affairs, McFaul helped craft the United States’ policy known as “reset” that fostered new and unprecedented collaboration between the two countries. And then, as U.S. ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014, he had a front-row seat when this fleeting, hopeful moment crumbled with Vladimir Putin’s return to the presidency. This riveting inside account combines history and memoir to tell the full story of U.S.-Russia relations from the fall of the Soviet Union to the new rise of the hostile, paranoid Russian president. From the first days of McFaul’s ambassadorship, the Kremlin actively sought to discredit and undermine him, hassling him with tactics that included dispatching protesters to his front gates, slandering him on state media, and tightly surveilling him, his staff, and his family.
From Cold War to Hot Peace is an essential account of the most consequential global confrontation of our time.
