This book shows how the United States successfully overcame Russian resistance in 1990s to expand NATO to more than 900 million people. But it also reveals how Washington's hardball tactics transformed the era between the Cold War and the present day, undermining what could have become a lasting partnership. Vladimir Putin swears that Washington betrayed a promise that NATO would move 'not one inch' eastward and justifies renewed confrontation as a necessary response to the alliance's illegitimate 'deployment of military infrastructure to our borders'. But the United States insists that neither President George H. W. Bush nor any other leader made such a promise. Pulling back the curtain on U.S.-Russian relations in the critical years between the fall of the Berlin Wall and Putin's rise to power, this book reveals the bitter clashes over NATO behind the facade of friendship and comes to a sobering conclusion : the damage did not have to happen.

1989 explores the momentous events following the fall of the Berlin Wall and the effects they have had on our world ever since. Based on documents, interviews, and television broadcasts from Washington, London, Paris, Bonn, Berlin, Warsaw, Moscow, and a dozen other locations, 1989 describes how Germany unified, NATO expansion began, and Russia got left on the periphery of the new Europe. This updated edition contains a new afterword with the most recent evidence on the 1990 origins of NATO's post-Cold War expansion.
