A leading expert on foreign policy reveals how tensions between
America, NATO, and Russia transformed geopolitics A Foreign Affairs
Best Book of 2021 and winner of the Pushkin House Book Prize
"Sarotte has the receipts, as it were: her authoritative tale draws
on thousands of memos, letters, briefs, and other once secret
documents-including many that have never been published
before-which both fill in and complicate settled narratives on both
sides."-Joshua Yaffa, New Yorker "The most engaging and carefully
documented account of this period in East-West diplomacy currently
available."-Andrew Moravcsik, Foreign Affairs Not one inch. With
these words, Secretary of State James Baker proposed a hypothetical
bargain to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev after the fall of the
Berlin Wall: if you let your part of Germany go, we will move NATO
not one inch eastward. Controversy erupted almost immediately over
this 1990 exchange-but more important was the decade to come, when
the words took on new meaning. Gorbachev let his Germany go, but
Washington rethought the bargain, not least after the Soviet
Union's own collapse in December 1991. Washington realized it could
not just win big but win bigger. Not one inch of territory needed
to be off limits to NATO. On the thirtieth anniversary of the
Soviet collapse, this book uses new evidence and interviews to show
how, in the decade that culminated in Vladimir Putin's rise to
power, the United States and Russia undermined a potentially
lasting partnership. Prize-winning historian M. E. Sarotte shows
what went wrong.
