Tracing the long and tortured path leading to this critical juncture, he contends that the recent deterioration of Russia-U.S. relations deserves to be understood as a return to cold war with great and lasting consequences. In drawing out the commonalities between the original cold war and the current confrontation, \u003ci\u003eReturn to Cold War\u003c\/i\u003e brings a fresh perspective to what is happening between the two countries, its broader significance beyond the immediate issues of the day, and how political leaders in both countries might adjust their approaches in order, as the author urges, to make this new cold war \"as short and shallow as possible.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Legvold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509501894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509501892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Robert Legvold","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935420514559,"sku":"9781509501892","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ddb04127-287f-4180-8dd6-cc55ba6ba5e8.jpg?v=1681419700","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/return-to-cold-war-robert-legvold-9781509501892","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
