Description

In the wake of the soviet union's collapse, the overwhelming majority of policymakers in the United States opposed the eastward expansion of NATO, on the grounds that such expansion would only poison the emerging relationship between Russia and the West. Strange Bedfellows tells the of the fierce battle that pitted a handful of passionately committed policy activists and intellectuals against the proponents of this conventional wisdom. Strange Bedfellows traces the battle for NATO expansion from its earliest stages all the way through to the favorable action taken by the Senate on April 30, 1998. The author introduces the key individuals who participated in this five-year drama, even as he makes observations on the ever-changing realities of policy-making in the post-cold war era.
