- Synopsis
- 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
