The Rebirth of Europe
This revised and updated paperback edition covers the introduction of the euro, the fall of Milosevic, and the impact of September 11 in European integration. The rejuvenation of Europe as a totalitarian century ends and a global century begins is a remarkable story.

Elizabeth Pond, a longtime observer of events in Europe and Russia, sees these d...
Comes A Rider
Paul Mueller returns from the brutal Civil War a jaded young man. He arrives in his Central Texas hometown to unimaginable grief: his parents have been brutally murdered and their home destroyed in the violent "Hoodoo" wars of Mason County. He seeks out the killers to exact a swift frontier justice and, in the process, becomes a wanted murderer. Paul flees to Mexico with a warrant on his head, where he lives under the alias Sam Smith in order to avoid detection. He spends years in exile before setting foot on American soil once again. He arrives in Arizona where he dreams of starting a ranch and living the remainder of his life in peace--but fate has other plans. Sam rides straight into a world of Apache ambushes, corrupt officials, and masked riders. He has no choice but to resort to his fast gun to stay alive and ultimately finds himself suspected of murder yet again. Even worse, he soon runs into someone from his past, and their meeting changes things. For better or for worse, Sam must now wholeheartedly commit to a course of action to achieve the redemption and future he desires.

The magnitude of the security challenge was confirmed while thi...
The Challenge of Integration
The EastWest Institute took over sponsorship of the Survey when the Open Media Research Institute in Prague closed in 1997 after publishing the first two annual volumes. Overviews of eastern Europe and the former Soviet states are followed by essays on regional issues and economics, and then analyses of the current situation in specific countries. The perspectives include a year of optimism in Hungary, keeping Latvia on a course toward the west, Slovenia as an island of stability, a year of western determination in Bosnia, Vojislav Sesilj as a demagogue waiting in Yugoslavia, and progress amid privation in Georgia. The texts are accompanied by maps, data boxes, feature stories, excerpts from documents, and profiles of key figures. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
