“Painstakingly researched . . .a must-read,” says The Guardian.
Sanger has covered Washington politics, economics and national security during seven presidents: Reagan; Bush; Clinton; Bush: Obama; Trump, Biden. Who does he think will be next, and what will the victory of either man mean for Australia? He will be in conversation with Jane Perlez, another Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times reporter — they were in the Washington bureau together for several years. She was the New York Times bureau chief in China from 2012-2019, and is host of the podcast Face-Off: U.S. vs China.
On the cusp of the American election, this is an evening you will not want to miss.

New Cold Wars
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A fast-paced account of America’s plunge into simultaneous Cold Wars against two very different adversaries — Xi Jinping’s China and Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
New Cold Wars — the latest from Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and bestselling author of The Perfect Weapon David E. Sanger — tells the riveting story of America at a crossroads. At the turn of the millennium, the United States was confident that a democratic Russia and a newly wealthy China could gradually be pulled into the Western-led order. That proved a fantasy. By the time Washington emerged from the age of terrorism, the three nuclear powers were engaged in a new, high-stakes struggle for military, economic, and technological supremacy — with nations around the world forced to take sides.
Interviewing a remarkable array of top officials in the United States, world leaders, and tech companies thrust onto the front lines, Sanger unfolds a riveting narrative spun around the era’s critical questions. Will Putin's ill-considered invasion of Ukraine prove his undoing, and will he reach for his nuclear arsenal? Will China strike back at the US chip embargo, or seize Taiwan, the world’s semiconductor capital?
Taking readers from the battlefields of Ukraine — where trench warfare and cyberwarfare are fought side by side — to the back rooms and boardrooms where diplomats, spies, and tech executives jockey for geopolitical advantage, New Cold Wars is an astonishing first-draft history chronicling America’s return to superpower conflict, the choices that lie ahead, and what is at stake for the United States and the world.
