Reviews

Milevski succinctly traces the story of great power politics and the Baltic states from their origins in the late medieval period to the present. Essential reading for those studying the strategic challenges facing the Baltic states today. -Antulio J. Echevarria II, US Army War College Dr. Milevski has written an outstanding strategic study of the security problem that Russia poses to the three Baltic republics that are members of NATO: Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Because of geography and politics, the only strategically plausible theory for their security must reside primarily in a nuclear meaning to Article V of the NATO Treaty. -Colin S. Gray, Professor Emeritus of Strategic Studies, University of Reading A fascinating, well-written-and sometimes frightening-strategic analysis of NATO's Baltic frontier. -Donald Stoker, author of Clausewitz: His Life and Work
