New cold wars by Sanger, David E.

A fast-paced account of America’s plunge into simultaneous cold wars against two very different adversaries – Xi Jinping’s China and Valdimir Putin’s Russia. ‘New Cold Wars’ tells the riveting story of America at a crossroads. Interviewing a remarkable array of top officials in the United States, world leaders, and tech companies thrust onto the front lines, Sanger unfolds a riveting narrative spun around the era’s critical questions. Will Putin’s ill-considered invasion of Ukraine prove his undoing, and will he reach for his nuclear arsenal? Will China strike back at the US chip embargo, or seize Taiwan, the world’s semiconductor capital? ‘New Cold Wars’ is an astonishing first-draft history chronicling America’s return to superpower conflict, the choices that lie ahead, and what is at stake for the United States and the world.
