FROM COLD WAR TO HOT PEACE - MICHAEL MCFAUL KAR...

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.
