Book excerpt of "From Cold War To Hot Peace":
Think back to Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin in a bear hug. Russian and U.S. forces in joint anti-terror exercises. George Bush taking the measure of Vladimir Putin’s soul. Two young presidents, Obama and Medvedev, in fruitful talks, and wonder… How did we get here? Russia’s stealth invasion of eastern Ukraine, hacking American elections, growling at the west. Former US Ambassador Michael McFaul watched it all up close.
This hour, On Point: Cold War becomes a hot peace.
