What The Reviewers Say
A veteran tiller in the field of national security, Weiner offers a well-written and provocative journey to this era’s perilous fight.
Tim Weiner’s The Folly and the Glory provides a sweeping, lively survey of the worldwide competition between the Soviet Union (and later, Russia) and the United States since the end of World War II.
... a fast-paced narrative of U.S.-Russia relations since 1945. The emphasis on 'political warfare,' however, is selective; the account unfolds episodically.
Pulitzer Prize—and National Book Award—winning journalist Weiner brings heft to this account of U.S.-Russian political warfare.
