Why did American leaders persist in pursuing this elusive goal? Was there an alternative path that could have led to more constructive relations or better equipped Washington to confront the challenges posed by Russia today?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his insightful book, \"Getting Russia Right,\" Thomas Graham, a seasoned expert with decades of experience in Russian affairs, skillfully charts the evolution of opposing ideas of national purpose that have perpetuated an inherent tension in US-Russian relations. Through a practitioner's lens, Graham identifies the blind spots that hindered Washington from accurately perceiving Russia and developing a policy that would advance American interests without inciting an aggressive Russian response. By distilling the \"Putin factor,\" Graham unveils the contours of the Russia challenge that the United States will continue to face whenever Putin departs the scene. He presents a compelling framework for dealing with this challenge, enabling the United States to navigate a rapidly changing world while advancing its interests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of US-Russian relations. Graham's expertise and analytical depth provide a comprehensive and nuanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing the United States in its dealings with Russia. By exploring the historical roots of the tension, the blind spots that have hindered understanding, and the potential paths forward, \"Getting Russia Right\" offers a valuable roadmap for navigating the complexities of the US-Russian relationship and achieving a more constructive and peaceful future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 516g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 161 x 236 x 24 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781509556892\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Graham","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44807067631866,"sku":"9781509556892","price":17.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1700838994238_book.jpg?v=1700900817","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/getting-russia-right-9781509556892","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
