With a preface by Norman Davies, author of Europe: A History. Revised and updated following Russia`s attack on Georgia. No longer the sick man of Europe, Russia is run by an authoritarian ex-KGB regime with the cash to put its ideas into practice.

The New Cold War explains the Kremlin`s use of energy blockades and trade sanctions, military...
