Join Russia Matters and the Davis Center for a book talk by Thomas Graham, a distinguished fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. In his new book, “Getting Russia Right,” Graham offers a practical vision of U.S.-Russia relations. He identifies the blind spots that prevented Washington from seeing Russia as it really is and crafting a policy to advance American interests without provoking an aggressive Russian response. Distilling the Putin factor to reveal the contours of the Russia challenge facing the United States whenever he departs the scene, Graham lays out a compelling way to deal with it so that the United States can continue to advance its interests in a rapidly changing world.
