Description

Before NATO enlarged eastward, Western leaders spoke with Mikhail Gorbachev about the alliance's future as Germany reunified. What he was told, and whether it amounted to a promise, became a lasting dispute. This briefing-book page presents the record of what Gorbachev heard. Its companion volume covers what Boris Yeltsin heard later in the decade. The evidence here is the title alone. Read together, the two volumes let readers compare the assurances themselves rather than the claims made about them.
