NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠The fast-paced inside story of Americaâs plunge into a volatile rivalry with the other two great nuclear powersâXi Jinpingâs China and Vladimir Putinâs Russiaâfrom the Pulitzer Prizeâwinning journalist and bestselling author of The Perfect Weapon
â[A] cogent, revealing account of how a generation of American officials have grappled with dangerous developments in the post-Cold War era . . . vividly captures Washington.ââThe New York Times (Editorsâ Choice)
ONE OF NPRâS BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR
For years, the United States was confident that the newly democratic Russia and increasingly wealthy China could be lured into a Western-led order that promised prosperity and relative peaceâso long as they agreed to Washingtonâs terms. By the time America emerged from the age of terrorism, it was clear that this had been a fantasy.
Now the three powers are engaged in a high-stakes struggle for military, economic, political, and technological supremacy, with nations around the world pressured to take sides. Yet all three are discovering that they are maneuvering for influence in a far more turbulent world than they imagined.
Based on a remarkable array of interviews with top officials from five presidential administrations, U.S. intelligence agencies, foreign governments, and tech companies, Sanger unfolds a riveting narrative spun around the eraâs critical questions: Will the mistakes Putin made in his invasion of Ukraine prove his undoing and will he reach for his nuclear arsenalâor will the Westâs famously short attention span signal Kyivâs doom? Will Xi invade Taiwan? Will both men deepen their partnership to undercut Americaâs dominance? And can a politically dysfunctional America still lead the world?
Taking readers from the battlefields of Ukraineâwhere Russia uses bullets from North Korea and drones from Iranâto the Taiwan headquarters where the worldâs most advanced computer chips are produced and on to tense debates in the White House Situation Room, New Cold Wars is a remarkable first-draft history chronicling Americaâs return to superpower conflict, the choices that lie ahead, and what is at stake for the United States and the world.
