— Joshua Landis, Syria expert at the University of Oklahoma.

Reviews of The New Cold War
- "If you've never read a book about the politics in the former Soviet Union, make an exception for this one. And if you're interested in post-Soviet politics, then Mark MacKinnon's The New Cold War is a must. It's a real-life political drama, a non-fiction page-turner that will keep you up at night" - Levon Sevunts, The Montreal Gazette
- "The New Cold War is a first-rate book that is both timely and chilling" - Lawrence Martin, The Globe and Mail
- "MacKinnon... but shows us the consequences of the war on the front lines with scintillating stories, that read almost like fiction, from places like the former Yugoslavia, Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus and Uzbekistan, all places he’s spent a great deal of time." - Kim Zigfeld, Pajamas Media
- "[MacKinnon] comes to the same conclusions as us, the people who have been at the center of all these events" - The Messenger (Georgia)
- "Fair and objective ... Reading through this well-researched work, it’s hard not to think of two sides engaged in a chess match, or better still, a game of Risk" - The Baltic Times
- "Rich material... sheds new light on many events in recent history" - Itar-Tass
- "Close-to-the-bone reporting that led the Kremlin to designate the author as a hostile journalist" - Kirkus Reviews
- "MacKinnon's eye-opening book masterfully shows that a secret war has been in full swing for years, and that it is far from over" - Embassy magazine
- "Well-researched and engrossing" - Publishers Weekly
- "It's a prescient book, and an important one" - Joseph Planta, thecommentary.ca
- "The New Cold War wonderfully documents the conflicting interests and policies of Russia and the West in an engaging, easy-to-read style" - The Globe and Mail books review
