The New Cold War : How the Kremlin Menaces both Russia and the West

In this sharp and timely analysis, journalist Edward Lucas examines the resurgence of Russia under Vladimir Putin and the growing tensions between Moscow and the West. Arguing that a new kind of Cold War is already underway, Lucas explores the Kremlin’s use of energy politics, intelligence operations, cyber tactics, and influence campaigns to reassert power beyond its borders. Drawing on his experience as a longtime correspondent in Eastern Europe for *The Economist*, he combines on-the-ground reporting with geopolitical insight to explain how democratic institutions can be tested by authoritarian ambition. Provocative and accessible, this book will interest readers of contemporary politics, international relations, and modern European history.
