John B. Hurford Memorial Lecture With Michael McFaul

From Cold War to Hot Peace Book Talk

"He turned away from Tom to stare intensely at me with his steely blue eyes and stern scowl to accuse me of purposely seeking to ruin U.S.-Russia relations. Putin seemed genuinely angry with me." FSI Director Michael McFaul speaks about his journey from Montana debater to Stanford University faculty member to Obama administration advisor and finally to U.S. ambassador to Russia and Putin's personal foe. His new book "From Cold War to Hot Peace," tells his story while explaining the last 30 years of U.S.-Russia relations.
