Abstract

Two exceptional new books add powerful insight into Russia’s worldview and the challenges surmounting the West in forging an actionable collective security agreement for Europe and the US. Chatham House’s John Lough has weighed in with a critical analysis in Germany’s Russia Problem that examines the complex relationship between Germany and Russia. Johns Hopkins Cold War historian Mary Sarotte has provided her brilliant Not One Inch: America, Russia, and the Making of the Post-Cold War Stalemate, an intricately researched and splendidly written, detailed history of engagements among US administrations, former Warsaw Pact nations that now hold NATO membership, and Russian leadership. Lough has written a long book, over 500 pages, and so rich in detail that, despite the fluid writing, reading and digesting it requires focused attention.
