I wish to thank the contributors to this volume for their hard work and their commitment to the project. Without their cooperation, this book would not have been completed.

I am greatly indebted to Dr. John Raisian, Dr. Thomas Henriksen, and Ms. Deborah Ventura of the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace at Stanford University for their hospitality and support during the preparation of this manuscript. I also wish to thank the U.S. Department of State for its support under the Title VIII program. Among my colleagues in central Europe, I am especially grateful to Lieutenant Colonel Leszek Soczewica of the Military Protocol Division of the Polish Ministry of Defense for his friendship and assistance in my research. Special thanks go to the Buckman family of Memphis for their generous commitment to the International Studies program at Rhodes College.

Most importantly, I want to thank my wife, Cristina, and my daughter, Chelsea, for their continued encouragement and good humor throughout this undertaking.
