Return to Cold War

Reviews / Votes

"Return to Cold War presents comprehensive analysis and penetrating insights into the current crisis in relations between Russia and the West. It is a 'must-read' for anyone seeking to understand what has happened to this relationship and why. Most importantly, Legvold shares his ideas on how the two countries - with wise political leadership - can make the return to the Cold War short and shallow." --Sam Nunn, Former US Senator, Co-Chairman of the Nuclear Threat Initiative "Robert Legvold, one of the world's leading authorities on Soviet and Russian foreign policy, paints a sombre picture of the dangerous state of US-Russian relations, but he also has constructive ideas on the way out of the current impasse which policymakers would do well to heed." --Archie Brown, author of The Rise and Fall of Communism "Robert Legvold is one of the most thoughtful students of U.S.-Russian relations, from the period of the Cold War to the times of Russian-Western cooperation and even attempts at integration to the current new confrontation which he calls cold war II. There is hardly anyone in the world who knows the subject better than Bob, or can explain it in such a rich and precise language, leading to very compelling arguments and conclusions. All those with a serious interest in how the West and Russia got where they are today, and what the future may hold out must read Professor Legvold's book. It reveals the past and illuminates the future" --Dmitri V. Trenin, Director, Carnegie Moscow Center
