As President Barack Obama's adviser on Russian affairs, McFaul helped craft the United States' policy known as \"reset\" that fostered new and unprecedented collaboration between the two countries. And then, as U.S. ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2014, he had a front-row seat when this fleeting, hopeful moment crumbled with Vladimir Putin's return to the presidency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis riveting inside account combines history and memoir to tell the full story of U.S.-Russia relations from the fall of the Soviet Union to the new rise of the hostile, paranoid Russian president.
