| Summary: | The rise of China, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the reelection of President Donald Trump have reinforced a gloomy yet growing consensus. The old global order has ended, and a new Cold War has begun. And yet, many of the perils we face today are distinctly different from those we encountered from the Soviet Union. The alliance between the autocracies of China and Russia, China's economic might, the rise of the far right in the United States and Europe and the disturbing isolationist foreign policy shifts of the Trump administration, taken together represent new challenges for the democratic world. They are threats with no precedent in the past century. In this sweeping account of great power competition between the United States, China and Russia over the past three centuries, Michael McFaul, former ambassador to Russia and international affairs analyst for NBC News, argues persuasively that today's challenges require fresh thinking, not constrained by distant memories of the Cold War or the nationalist dreams of MAGA. One of the preeminent thinkers on American foreign policy for decades, McFaul combines in-depth historical analysis with a forward-looking perspective, crafting a new grand strategy for America in this age of global disorder. |
