New Cold Wars: China's Rise, Russia's Invasion, and America's Struggle to Defend the West by David E. Sanger

4.25
A dense, informative, well written overview of US, Russia, and China centric foreign politics of recent history up to 2024. The writing is incredibly efficient and well paced, of a very unopinionated journalistic style that I really like, somehow managing to make 400+ pages not boring or slow at any point. I learned a lot reading this and I feel a lot better informed on the current global power struggles after finishing.
I don't tend to read books like these too often as I find the actions of politicians, corporations, and world leaders to be incredibly depressing and disgusting, and the book is rife with examples of this behavior; but I think it's important to keep up to date now and then on what's going on in the world. In that respect the book does a fantastic job and is one of the better written books of its type that I've read.
