Steven Pifer Book order

Provides the first detailed account of US diplomacy toward independent Ukraine, covering the formative dozen years following the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991. Steven Pifer, who worked on US Ukraine relations at the State Department and the White House and as ambassador to Ukraine, has written an insider's narrative of the ups and downs in the relationship.

For some observers, nuclear arms control is either a relic of the cold war, or a utopian dream about a denuclearized planet decades in the future. But, as Brookings scholars Steven Pifer and Michael O'Hanlon argue in The Opportunity, arms control can address some key security challenges facing Washington today and enhance both American and global security.
