Opening NATO's Door : How the Alliance Remade Itself for a New Era (Council of Foreign Relations)
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Asmus has written a detailed insider's account of NATO enlargement." -- Robert McGeehan, Journal of American Studies
"Detailed... impressive... Asmus gives a fair picture of the fierce divisions within the administration, and he records the caution of several allies and the changes of mood in Moscow at a time when the alliance was deeply internally divided over the Yugoslav wars." -- Foreign Affairs
"Asmus shares his ringside seat with his readers, which can be most informative, and great fun." -- Robert G. Kaiser, Washington Post
"As the Alliance debates its future following the September 11th terrorist attacks on the United States, this book is required reading about the first post--Cold War effort to modernize NATO for a new era." -- Senator Richard G. Lugar (R-Indiana)
"A unique firsthand account of one of the most important foreign policy developments of our time.... Asmus is at once witness, analyst, and historian." -- Timothy Garton Ash
"Mr. Asmus's book is the work not just of a historian but of a visionary." -- Sarah Means Lohmann, Washington Times
"The book serves as an engaging history lesson relayed by someone with first-hand experience, as well as an authoritative manual for high-stakes negotiations that weaves together insights on both American diplomacy abroad and the foreign policy-making process at home." -- National Journal
"Asmus' book provides a new and rich contribution to the literature of NATO expansion. His study will be a useful resource for any student of American foreign policy, as well as experts on NATO." -- Ryan C. Henderson, The Journal of Slavic Military Studies
"It does a brillant job of tracing out push and pull and personanilty factors in the laborious move toward enlargement." -- Beth Greener-Barcham, History: Reviews of New Books
