“The goal of a Europe whole, free and at peace remains as vital today as it did in 1989. This important book brings together policymakers and experts from both sides of the Atlantic for a timely discussion of how to achieve that goal for the 21st century.” — Madeleine K. Albright, served as U.S. Secretary of State between 1997–2001 “Europe is not yet Whole and Free as we dreamt it would be in the heady days of 1989. But Europe is wholer and freer than it has ever been in its history. Russia and Belarus are the only two countries whose people are denied the right to choose their own government. One day they will have that right which the rest of Europe now enjoys. This volume of essays is essential reading for those who wish to understand the last 30 years; three decades of European history which, whatever the setbacks and disappointments, have transformed our continent and the lives of those who are its citizens.” —Sir Malcolm Rifkind, served as Foreign Minister and Minister of Defence in the United Kingdom Government between 1992–1997 „A great book about Europe‘s finest years, a convincing but unfinished strategic architecture.“ —Volker Rühe, served as Federal Minister of Defence in German Government between 1992–1998
