Acknowledgments
A book, and especially one’s first book, would not be possible without the assistance of countless individuals. Many individuals helped give shape to this work. I would like to thank Greg Kennedy, Geraint Hughes, Jeffrey Michaels, Anatol Lieven, and Patrick Porter at King’s College London and Fredrik Logevall, Steven Miller, and Steve Walt for their input at the Harvard Kennedy School. Anne Miles, Brian Shaev, and Oliver Elliott read sections of the manuscript and provided valuable food for thought. I also wish to thank the staff of Cornell University Press, and especially Michael McGandy, for believing in this project and helping to see it to fruition. Several passages from chapters 1, 3, and 7 were previously published in the Journal of Cold War Studies.
