Publisher's Synopsis
The 'Russiagate' affair is one of the most far-reaching political events of recent years. But what exactly was the nature and extent of Russian interference in the campaign that led to the presidency of Donald J. Trump? Richard Sakwa sets out the dramatic series of events that combined to create Russiagate and examines whether together they form a persuasive account of Russian interference. Examining the multiple layers in play, his analysis challenges some of the more overblown claims of Russian collusion and provides historical context to make sense of today's tensions. As concerns rise about a New Cold War, this highly readable account is essential reading to understand contemporary East-West relations.
