Description
The Lost Peace: How the West Failed to Prevent a Second Cold War by Richard Sakwa. In 1989, the world was poised for an enduring era of global peace as ideological divisions and conflicts began to be resolved. Yet, three decades later, that peace has been lost. The end of the Cold War presented a unique opportunity, but our inability to seize it has led to today's renewed era of great power competition. Richard Sakwa examines the mistakes on both sides that led to the current crisis, tracing the resurgence of China and Russia and the disruptions and ambitions of the liberal order that opened up catastrophic new lines of conflict. This is a vital account of how the world lost its chance at peace, and instead saw the return of war in Europe, global rivalries, and nuclear brinksmanship. Sakwa's analysis sheds light on the events leading to our current situation, providing a strongly argued perspective on the causes of the Second Cold War.
