McFaul had been studying and visiting Russia for decades, becoming one of America's preeminent scholars on the country during the first Putin era.During President Obama's first term, McFaul helped craft the policy known as "Reset," which fostered unprecedented collaboration between the two countries under Dmitry Medvedev's presidency. Later, as U.S. ambassador from 2012 to 2014, he witnessed firsthand how Vladimir Putin's new rise interrupted this era of cooperation and returned Russian-American relations to a level of hostility not known since the darkest days of the Cold War. From the outset of his ambassadorship, the Kremlin accused McFaul of being sent by Obama to foment revolution against Putin's regime.This resulting insider's account - uniquely combining history, politics and intimate personal knowledge of the corridors of power - takes us from Putin's dacha to ornate Kremlin chambers and the Oval Office, to explain how Russia really works, and why the world has entered a dangerous new era of confrontation.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Law & Politics, HistoryType: EducationRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
