"Russia, once seen as America's greatest adversary, is now viewed
by the United States as a potential partner. This book traces the
evolution of American foreign policy toward the Soviet Union, and
later Russia, during the tumultuous and uncertain period following
the end of the cold war. It examines how American
policymakers-particularly in the executive branch-coped with the
opportunities and challenges presented by the new Russia. Drawing
on extensive interviews with senior U.S. and Russian officials, the
authors explain George H. W. Bush's response to the dramatic coup
of August 1991 and the Soviet breakup several months later, examine
Bill Clinton's efforts to assist Russia's transformation and
integration, and analyze George W. Bush's policy toward Russia as
September 11 and the war in Iraq transformed international
politics. Throughout, the book focuses on the benefits and perils
of America's efforts to promote democracy and markets in Russia as
well as reorient Russia from security threat to security ally.
Understanding how three U.S. administrations dealt with these
critical policy questions is vital in assessing not only America's
Russia policy, but also efforts that might help to transform and
integrate other former adversaries in the future. "
