"A fascinating and timely account of the current crisis in the
relationship between Russia and the United States." -- New York
Times Book Review "McFaul succeeds, shedding needed light on the
most geopolitically competitive relationship of the last 75 years
and attempting to explain the 'why and what' of Russian
interference in the 2016 presidential election." -- The
Guardian"Careful about providing evidence for his hard-earned
opinions, [McFaul] is always clear and successfully assesses the
level of complexity we lay-readers need to understand academic
theories about revolutions and economics." -- Christian Science
Monitor"An invaluable memoir." -- David Remnick "Vigorously
argued." -- Washington Post"An expert political chronicle that
often reads like a fast-paced thriller." -- Booklist (starred
review)"Mike McFaul has lived history. In this terrific book, he
recounts a pivotal time in U.S.-Russian relations, bringing the
perspective of a central participant and one of America's finest
scholars of Russian politics. This book will be valued by students,
experts, historians and diplomats for years to come. It is a good
read and an invaluable contribution at a crucial time." --
Condoleezza Rice, former Secretary of State under George W. Bush
(2005-2009)"[McFaul] provides useful insights into the changing
relationship between America and Russia in this smart, personable
mix of memoir and political analysis... an essential volume for
those trying to understand one of the U.S.'s most significant
current rivals." -- Publishers Weekly "Of interest to observers of
the unfolding constitutional crisis as well as of Russia's place in
the international order." -- Kirkus Reviews "As both a first-hand
observer and a key participant in many of the recent events that
have shaped US-Russia relations, Ambassador McFaul has an important
story to tell. From Cold War to Hot Peace is a gripping and
intensely personal account of one of the most complex and
consequential geopolitical developments of our time." -- Madeleine
Albright, former Secretary of State under Bill Clinton (1997-2001)

relations." -- George P. Shultz, former Secretary of State under

country faces from Vladimir Putin's Russia. McFaul is a candid and
insightful guide to the history, personalities, and politics that
continue to shape one of America's most consequential
relationships." -- Hillary Rodham Clinton, former Secretary of
State under Barack Obama (2009-2013)
