"If you've never
read a book about the politics in the former
Soviet Union, make an exception for this
one. And if you're interested in post-Soviet
politics, then Mark MacKinnon's The New Cold
War is a must. It's a real-life political drama, a
non-fiction page-turner that will keep you
up at night and provoke some very big
questions about Western policy vis-a-vis
Russia and its former satellites." - Levon
Sevunts, The Montreal Gazette.

"The New Cold War is a
first-rate book that is both timely and chilling. With his KGB mentality, Vladimir
Putin is indeed turning back the clock. In a stirring, incisive account, Mark MacKinnon
reveals what has come of the former Soviet Union and why we should all be on alert." - Lawrence Martin, The Globe and Mail
Read
Lawrence Martin's recent column on The New
Cold War
"The New Cold War is a necessary tale for
those who would understand the troubled path
taken by Russia and its neighbours since the
fall of the Iron Curtain. Mark MacKinnon
poignantly deconstructs the West's often
impatient obsession with formenting instant
democracy in places whose own struggles for
good government are still fraught with
internal obstacles - and the East's growing
autocratic defiance to democractic reform.
Reading his vivid encounters with people
toiling on the front lines of this new
antagonism, perhaps we believers in
democracy will realize that it cannot be
bought in Eastern Europe any more than it
can be imposed in the Middle East; that
democracy, so difficult to achieve, is all
the more precious."
- journalist Alexandre
Trudeau.
"It's a prescient book, and an important
one."
