Summary:

This book utilizes three theoretical models to analyze the defense conditions and preparedness of all the states of Eastern Europe. Their transition from Cold War communism to post-Cold War democracies, the stability of the East-Central European States, the precarious defense positions of the Baltic states, and the uneven defense preparedness of the Balkan states are at the heart of the analysis.
