From an on-line posting: "The Clinton administration has proclaimed a strategy to engage and enlarge the democratic community of states. By virtue of their strategic location adjacent to Russia, the Middle East, and Europe s periphery, and their large-scale oil and natural gas deposits, Transcaucasia and Central Asia have become important testing grounds of this strategy. Dr. Stephen J. Blank has served as the Strategic Studies Institute s expert on the Soviet bloc and the post-Soviet world since 1989. Dr. Blank is the author of The Sorcerer as Apprentice: Stalin s Commissariat of Nationalities, 1917-1924. He has also written many articles and conference papers on security issues. Dr. Blank s current research deals with proliferation and the revolution in military affairs, and security in Eurasia. Dr. Blank holds an M.A. and Ph.D. in history from the University of Chicago. The above information was current when the work was published by SSI." Condition: Very good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling.
