The New Cold War – Edward Lucas

In The New Cold War, journalist and security expert Edward Lucas delivers a hard-hitting analysis of Vladimir Putin’s Russia and its growing challenge to the West. First published in the wake of Putin’s rise to power, the book remains strikingly relevant as it exposes how Russia uses energy, espionage, corruption, and propaganda as weapons to weaken democratic nations.

Lucas warns that complacency in Europe and the United States has allowed Russia to rebuild its influence and expand its authoritarian reach. He argues that only a strong, united response from the West can counter this threat to freedom, democracy, and global stability.

Sharp, urgent, and deeply researched, The New Cold War is essential reading for anyone concerned with geopolitics, security, and the future of international order.
