Revised and updated with a new preface on the Crimean crisis ______________________________________ 'An impressive polemic arguing that the West still underestimates the danger that Putin's Russia poses ... A useful appeal for vigilance' - Sunday Times 'Highly informed, crisply written and alarming ... Wise up and stick together is the concluding message in Lucas's outstanding book' - Michael Burleigh, Evening Standard ______________________________________ While most of the world was lauding the stability and economic growth that Vladimir Putins 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 regimes crushing of independent institutions and silencing of critics, taking Russia far away from the European mainstream. It highlights the Kremlins 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 Wests will to resist. Now updated with an incisive analysis of Russias seizure of Crimea and its destabilisation of Ukraine, The New Cold War unpicks the roots of the Kremlins ideology and exposes the Wests naive belief that Putins sinister and authoritarian regime might ever be a friend or partner.
