Description
A collection of essays that shed light on Russia’s beliefs and political motivations, as well as its views on and relationship with America.
Dr. Matthew Crosston gives readers a close look at the many facets of the strained foreign relations between the United States of America and the Russian Federation. While acknowledging the pragmatism, self-interest, and unethical aspects of Russia’s foreign policy, Crosston argues that this ever-tense situation is best viewed through an amoral, apolitical, and unbiased lens—a controversial approach in a country whose citizens have viewed Russia, the Former Soviet Union, as a black-and-white, clear-cut villain for decades. But with extensive research from the last few years, Crosston offers Americans a fresh perspective, and breaks up the current political and media narratives with a voice of hope and reason.
Praise for Russia Reconsidered
“A powerful argument against the oversimplified, black-and-white, one-sided interpretations of the current crisis between Russia and the West. The collection of essays offers a remarkable diversity of views, narratives, and perceptions—a valuable source for those trying to get beyond the usual stereotypes and conventional wisdom.” —Andrey Kortunov, director general of the Russian International Affairs Council
“A catalog of excellent insights offered by various journalists and analysts on the current US-Russia relationship. Both sides are examined over various subjects from Syria to climate change to computer espionage. Opposing viewpoints are offered but challenged as well. A timely, much needed treatise.” —Manhattan Book Review
