Book excerpt: "Richard Falkenrath has written a magisterial exegesis -- an essential item in the library of anyone seriously interested in security in the post-Cold War world." -- "Survival" The legal foundation of the contemporary European security order is the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE). Negotiated by NATO and the Warsaw Pact states as the Cold War was ending and implemented as the new Europe took shape, the CFE Treaty imposes strict limits on the armed forces of all the major European states.
