NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the diplomat Putin wants to
interrogate--and has banned from Russia--comes a revelatory inside
account of US-Russia relations across the three decades following
the Cold War. 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 US 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 US-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.
