Description
A leading expert on foreign policy reveals how tensions between America, NATO, and Russia transformed geopolitics. M. E. Sarotte draws on thousands of previously secret documents to tell the story of a pivotal decade in East-West diplomacy. In 1990, Secretary of State James Baker proposed a hypothetical bargain to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, which sparked controversy and set the stage for the events that followed. This book uses new evidence and interviews to show how the United States and Russia undermined a potentially lasting partnership over the next decade, culminating in Vladimir Putin's rise to power. Prize-winning historian M. E. Sarotte sheds light on what went wrong in this critical period of international relations, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex negotiations and diplomatic tensions that shaped the post-Cold War era.
