Description: William H. Hill traces the development of the post-Cold War European security order to explain today's tensions, showing how attempts to include Russia were overshadowed by the domination of NATO and the EU. Closing with war in Ukraine, No Place for Russia argues that the post-Cold War order in Europe has been irrevocably shattered.
Review Quotes: William H. Hill's No Place for Russia is the most comprehensive and lucid account I have read of how the post-Cold War Euro-Atlantic security order developed. Hill's long experience as a diplomat and his scholarly eye offer new insight into the unsuccessful project to integrate Russia into European security structures, explaining how and why the buoyant optimism of the late 1980s gave way to the rancor and resentment that define attitudes between Moscow and the West today. An indispensable work for understanding why the East-West divide has reemerged, and a source of wisdom on how both sides might begin to repair the damage done.--John Beyrle, former U.S. ambassador to Russia and Bulgaria
