The optimistic vision of a "Europe whole and free" after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 has given way to disillusionment, bitterness, and renewed hostility between Russia and the West. In No Place for Russia, William H. Hill traces the development of the post-Cold War European security order to explain today´s tensions, showing how attempts to integrate Russia into a unified Euro-Atlantic security order were gradually overshadowed by the domination of NATO and the EU - at Russia´s expense.

This book constitutes virtually a definitive history of the breakdown of post-Cold War hopes and illusions, and it is so well documented that I believe that it will be an invaluable resource for historians. Probably the most comprehensive, thorough, and balanced analysis of the evolution of Euro-Atlantic-Eurasian security institutions from the last years of the Cold War through the present. P.
