Father Patrick Bascio and Eugene Novikov have made a significant contribution to a fascinating subject. Their understanding of the mind-set and foreign policy objectives of former Soviet Republics is of particular importance to United States and Western European leadership. The authors, in presenting previously unpublished information, warn that the wooing of Western credits drives the Republics' hidden agenda. It is a cautionary tale, one that deserves serious study by diplomats and university professors. In fact, this book should stir up enthusiastic debate among members of the general public who are students of history.
