From Cold War to Hot Peace

Just published: From Cold War to Hot Peace: An American Ambassador in Putin’s Russia by Michael McFaul.

Washington Post: “Russian authorities followed [McFaul] to his son’s soccer game and on outings to McDonald’s. They trailed his children’s bus to school and sat behind the family at church. They slashed the tires of an embassy staffer’s car and broke into the homes of other employees. Embassy security officials advised McFaul there was only one secure room at the embassy … because everywhere else was monitored by the Russian government.”
