It explains a great deal about the inability of those governments to respond adequately to the recent and drastic changes in Europes security environment. This book is written with great academic rigour which gives it total credibility and reliability. It is also remarkably timely given current Western policy dilemmas. It is a wake-up call which needs to be widely read in Western capitals by policy makers, opinion formers and educators. It fills an important gap in our understanding. * Chris N.
