""Ending the Cold War" is the product of a 'Who's Who' of scholars writing on one of the most important periods in recent history. The volume is well-framed by the editors, and the chapters are structured around a common approach that combines theoretical sophistication with impressive empirical grounding. Making good use of new knowledge available from documents and from interviews with key participants, this book will be valuable for scholars and accessible to students. "Ending the Cold War" will help sharpen the ongoing debate about an extraordinary series of events."--James M. Goldgeier, George Washington University
""Ending the Cold War" is analytically coherent and empirically original, enhancing our understanding of a transition of enormous magnitude for both the theory and practice of international relations. The book advances the debate by focusing on key turning points and pondering neglected counterfactuals, as it weighs the relative importance of power, ideas, and leadership. By far the best and most stimulating book to date on the subject, "Ending the Cold War" will be profitably read by scholars, policy makers, and students of international relations."--Robert D. English, University of Southern California and author of "Russia and the Idea of the West"
