With a preface by Norman Davies author of Europe: A History. Revised & updated following Russia's attack on Georgia. No longer the sick man of Europe Russia is run by an authoritarian ex-KGB regime with the cash to put its ideas into practice.

The murders of Anna Politkovskaya & Aleksander Litvinenko have sent a grim warning to other critics & the sham presidential 'election' in 2007 that put Dmitry Medvedev in the Kremlin as Putin's h&-picked successor showed how Russia's rulers not the voters dictate the country's political future. The New Cold War explains the Kremlin's use of energy blockades & trade sanctions military sabre-rattling & propaganda wars against its neighbours
- & why a divided & demoralised West is responding so feebly. It is an incisive & disturbing account of why we are perilously close to defeat
- & how we can still win.
