Books like The new cold war by Edward Lucas
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 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.--Publisher's description.

Journalist Masha Gessen follows the lives of four people born at what promised to be the dawn of democracy. Each of them came of age with unprecedented expectations, some as the children and grandchildren of the very architects of the new Russia, each with newfound aspirations of their own as entrepreneurs, activists, thinkers, and writers, sexual and social beings. Gessen charts their paths against the machinations of the regime that would crush them all, and against the war it waged on understanding itself, which ensured the unobstructed reemergence of the old Soviet order in the form of today's terrifying and seemingly unstoppable mafia state.

"The Cold War has spawned many interpreters over the years, but this comprehensive, accessible, richly illustrated volume is the first to benefit from the recent openings of Soviet, East European, and Chinese archives. Drawing on a wealth of recent scholarship and newly uncovered evidence, Sir Jeremy Isaacs and Taylor Downing are able to present for the first time what actually transpired in secret during some of the most crucial and terrifying moments of modern history.
Cold War is complete with firsthand and eyewitness accounts by the people who shaped pivotal events, as well as glimpses into the lives of ordinary men and women threatened or safeguarded by those policies."--BOOK JACKET.
