Summary

" "Power and Purpose" is likely to be the definitive work on U.S. policy toward Russia for some time. What is more, the authors have produced a valuable book that underscores an often overlooked reality, namely, that few foreign policy outcomes are inevitable and that people in some cases, only a handful are critical to what happens." Richard N. Haass, President, Council on Foreign Relations
