Reviews
‘Learned and incisive, this masterful study of the New Cold War – by the scholar who first identified and studied it – is an indispensable guide to the current global disorder and its ominous portent.’ Noam Chomsky
‘This volume is perfectly timed to anatomise the newest stage of the conflict. No one who hopes to move beyond complacent rhetoric and slogans can afford to miss this essential book.’ Samuel Moyn, Yale University
