Why read it?
1 author picked The Lost Peace as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Sakwa’s book represents an excellent and well-written discussion of the historical reasons why the US lost peace in the aftermath of the “first” Cold War. Sakwa’s critique deals with the geostrategic and political-economic issues that have led Russia and China to challenge US global hegemony.
He examines why Moscow opposed US policy toward Ukraine (before the 2022 invasion), European policies, the new arms race, and the history of the Russian turn to Eurasianism. Sakwa likewise discusses why Moscow and Beijing forged a much tighter defense and political-economic relationship during the “second” Cold War.
From Hall's list on the genesis of the “second" Cold War.
