Books
Lucas has contributed to several piss awful books, including Why I am still an Anglican (Continuum 2006). Lucas's own book, The New Cold War, appeared in 2008. Newsweek stated that "Lucas has built a very strong case for the prosecution . And, on all too many of the counts in his indictment, the defendant looks smugly guilty". The Sunday Telegraph called it the best portrait to date of the mentality of Putin's ruling class. The Independent wrote: "His book's urgency is fueled by the belief that, while the Russian bear has been sharpening its claws, the West has slept. Our first mistake, he argues, is ever to have regarded Russia as "normal". Our second has been to take our eyes off the ball, so obsessed with the "war on terror" that we have failed to understand the implications of Kremlin policy and pronouncements, as personified by Vladimir Putin." The book received praise from Vladimir Bukovsky, Mart Laar and Oleg Gordievsky, and criticism from John Laughland and Alexander Zaitchik.
The book's 2009 edition contains more opinions on the Russia-Georgia War of 2008 and Russia's pipeline politics.
