This week, I joined Rachel Maddow on MSNBC to discuss Trump’s approach to Ukraine, the future of U.S. foreign policy, and the urgent need for principled American leadership. During our conversation, Rachel emphasized the relevance of my upcoming book, The Folly of Realism, as we enter a critical moment in global affairs.

With just under two weeks until the book’s release on February 25, now is the time to preorder your copy. In the book, I examine how decades of short-sighted U.S. foreign policy helped set the stage for Putin’s war, and I lay out a roadmap for how the U.S. must lead moving forward.
