Really Serious Oreo Book Club: Who Lost Russia: How the World Entered a New Cold War by Peter J. Conradi

The Really Serious Book Club met February 21 to discuss Who Lost Russia: How the World Entered a New Cold War by Peter J. Conradi, Foreign Editor of the Sunday Times of London. The book is a revealing history of each U.S. President’s actions, policies, and personal relations with Russia’s leaders from Gorbachov to Putin. Why could the two countries never quite cement relations following the end of the Cold War? How have they arrived to the point where they have become antagonists? What might be done in the future to bring about better relations? A fascinating story with a great moral!
Our group meets on the third Wednesday of each month to discuss books of historical, political, philosophical or social importance. For more information, contact nortlynne@cox.net.
