Richard Sakwa is emeritus professor of Russian and European politics at the University of Kent. He has published widely on Soviet, Russian, and post-communist affairs and is the author of Frontline Ukraine and Russia against the Rest.
“[Sakwa] present[s] a detailed argument on how the ‘Political West’ missed its opportunity to create a stable world order and how ‘Neoconservatives and Liberal Interventionists’ deliberately sabotaged that prospect in the interests of American primacy.” —Seamus Martin, Irish Times “The Lost Peace is a superb book. Sakwa explains in learned detail how the West—especially the United States—pursued policies after the first Cold War ended that tragically led to a second Cold War, which has no end in sight.”—John J. Mearsheimer, author of The Great Delusion “The Lost Peace offers a long-awaited nuanced analysis of the multilayered crisis in which the world finds itself. Sakwa’s sharp and meticulous interpretation will help all those who look for solutions ahead.”—Marlene Laruelle, author of Is Russia Fascist? “A masterly account of the decisions that, over the last quarter century, have plunged the world into a new crisis. Must reading for concerned citizens in North America and Europe.”—Jack F. Matlock, Jr., former U.S. ambassador to the USSR and author of Superpower Illusions “Richard Sakwa offers a sophisticated and highly informative analysis of competing views of world order after the Cold War. Written by a foremost expert in the field, The Lost Peace is a definitive treatment of great power politics.”—Andrei P. Tsygankov, author of Russia and the West from Alexander to Putin
