Satellites and Commissars
Why did the Soviet Union squander the political leverage afforded by its trade subsidy to Eastern Europe? Why did Soviet officials fail to bargain with resolve, to link subsidies to salient political issues, to make credible commitments, and to monitor the satellites' policies? Using an unprecedented array of formerly secret documents housed in archives in Moscow, Warsaw, and Prague, as well as interviews with former Communist officials across Eastern Europe, Randall Stone answers these questions and others that have long vexed Western political scientists.

The United States of Soccer
"A brisk and informative look at Major League Soccer's first twenty years . . . West gives MLS fans a worthy chronicle." ( Booklist). In 1988, FIFA decreed that the 1994 World Cup would be played in the United States – with the condition that the U.S. would start a new professional league. The North American Soccer League had failed just four years prior, and the prospects of launching a new league for Americans, who didn't share the rest of the world's love for soccer, were both exciting and daunting. The United States of Soccer is the engaging history of Major League Soccer's bootstrap origins prior to its 1996 launch, its near-demise in the early 2000s, and its surprising resilience and growth as it won recognition from soccer fans around the world. The book also explores the origin of MLS's superfans who set the tone within MLS stadiums and defining what it is to be a North American soccer fan. Phil West chronicles those fans' voices – intermingled with league officials, former players and coaches, journalists, and newspaper accounts – to detail MLS's remarkable journey.
