Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The brief war between Russia and Georgia in August 2008 seemed to many like an unexpected shot out of the blue that was gone as quickly as it came. Former Assistant Deputy Secretary of State Ronald Asmus contends that it was a conflict that was prepared and planned for some time by Moscow, part of a broader strategy to send a message to the United States: that Russia is going to flex its muscle in the 21st century. A Little War that Changed the World is a fascinating look at the breakdown of relations between Russia and the West, the decay and decline of the Western Alliance itself, and the fate of Eastern Europe in a time of economic crisis. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How and why did NATO, a Cold War military alliance created in 1949 to counter Stalin's USSR, become the cornerstone of new security order for post-Cold War Europe Why, instead of retreating from Europe after communism's collapse, did the U.S. launch the greatest expansion of the American commitment to the old continent in decades Written by a high-level insider, Opening NATO's Door provides a definitive account of the ideas, politics, and diplomacy that went into the historic decision to expand NATO to Central and Eastern Europe. Drawing on the still-classified archives of the U.S. Department of State, Ronald D. Asmus recounts how and why American policymakers, against formidable odds at home and abroad, expanded NATO as part of a broader strategy to overcome Europe's Cold War divide and to modernize the Alliance for a new era.

First edition of this detailed account of the 2008 Russo-Georgian War. Octavo, original publisher's cloth. Association copy, inscribed by author on the title page, "To Madeleine With great admiration and thanks for your friendship, support and the opportunities I have had to serve our country with you-Ronald D. Asmus January 12, 2010" The recipient, Madeleine K. Albright was the first woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. She acted under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001, leading the United States through foreign policy in the Middle East with the endorsement of military action in Iraq. At the 1998 NATO summit, Albright coined the â3 Dsâ of NATO, âwhich is no diminution of NATO, no discrimination and no duplication â" because I think that we donât need any of those three âDsâ to happen.â After her tenure as Secretary of State, she served as chair of the consulting Albright Stonebridge Group and was the Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown Universityâs School of Foreign Service. For Albrightâs contributions to foreign policy and relations that defined a century, President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Bookplate to the front pastedown from, âThe Private Collection of Secretary Madeleine K. Albright.â Jacket design by David Baldeosingh Rotstein. An exceptional association. The book examines the historical background of Georgiaâs aspirations for NATO membership and its struggle for sovereignty in the face of Russian influence. Asmus critiques Western policies that, in his view, failed to deter Russian aggression and left Georgia vulnerable. He contends that the war underscored Russiaâs strategic ambitions and served as a precursor to future conflicts, including Russiaâs actions in Ukraine. By weaving together diplomatic analysis, firsthand accounts, and geopolitical context, Asmus presents the war as a critical turning point in post-Cold War relations. The book is particularly valuable for scholars of international relations, security studies, and Eastern European politics, offering insights into the challenges of NATO expansion, Russian foreign policy, and the Westâs strategic responses to regional conflicts.
