A Belgian Perspective on International Affairs
Gilbert DoctorowEssays address the technical and equipment disparities
between the United States military and its NATO allies that put
in question the soundness of the alliance, the prospects of an
emerging arms race, the identification of an ideological
dimension which makes the U.S.-Russian confrontation look
ever more like a full-blown cold war, the global significance of
the Russian-Chinese strategic alignment.“Doctorow’s essays are a needed corrective to the widespread distortions peddled by much of the mass
media in the U.S. and Europe.” — Jack Matlock, US Ambassador to the Soviet Union, 1987-91
“Mr. Doctorow is a lucid observer. As someone who knows very well what is going on in Russia and what
plans are being hatched in Europe, he relates and comments intelligently on what is evolving before our
eyes every day in these troubled times.” — Michel Carlier, Belgian career diplomatAvailable at Amazon and BN.com e First Political Order
