The most controversial Russia expert in America. The Chronicle Review
War With Russia? is an alternative narrative of Donald Trumps US and Putins Russia, from Americas most prominent Russian scholar. America is in a new Cold War with Russia even more dangerous than the one the world barely survived in the twentieth century. The Soviet Union is gone, but the two nuclear superpowers are again locked in political and military confrontations, now from Ukraine to Syria. All of this is exacerbated by Washingtons war-like demonizing of the Kremlin leadership and by Russiagates unprecedented allegations. US mainstream media accounts are highly selective and seriously misleading. American disinformation, not only Russian, is a growing peril. In War With Russia?, Stephen F. Cohen the widely acclaimed historian of Soviet and post-Soviet Russia gives readers a very different, dissenting narrative of this more dangerous new Cold War from its origins in the 1990s, the actual role of Vladimir Putin, and the 2014 Ukrainian crisis to Donald Trumps election and todays unprecedented Russiagate allegations. Cohens views have made him, it is said, Americas most controversial Russia expert. Some say this to denounce him, others to laud him as a bold, highly informed critic of US policies and the dangers they have helped to create. War With Russia? gives readers a chance to decide for themselves.
