ballistic missile facility is that the second president bush one of the place in poland and i think czechoslovakia train their brain to run well if i were russian i would say they're not ended around they're aimed at russia and that i would have regarded as a hostile move compounding nato has moved to the boundaries of russia and you've got to try and do a better world you've got to try and build trust. and you don't do that by behaving as that war is still in place putting as a.b.m. sites in those two countries. today he was behaving is that the cold war was still alive and well shifting nato east even though president gorbachev believed he had an agreement that it should not i think he was wrong in that but he had certainly argued for a very strong very. i think doing that was a provocation and not conducive to establishing the kind of trust and cooperation which is necessary if there is to be a real peace and real trop aeration you just mentioned china as an important player and what's interesting to me is that in your path and the guardian he also mentioned china as the country that has been f

don't like comparisons to hitler, but in 1938, some of the people said, well, just give hitler czechoslovakia. he's worried about protecting ethnic germans, if we do that, everything will be all right. and then we saw what happened. now we're saying just give him crimea. or maybe a little bit of eastern ukraine. he's protecting ethnic russians. you can't allow this bully to do that. the way we deal with putin now is going to set the stage for the next 25 years because he's going to be around for a long time. if he thinks we're paper tigers, he's going to continue to move with impunity. >> have we missed the opportunity to deal more forcefully with him? where do we go? >> let's hope we haven't missed the opportunity. i have been hearing administration officials saying they want to offer an off ramp to vladimir putin. he's not looking for off ramps. he's looking for on ramps. we should have complied with the request for small arms ammunition immediately. we should be very overtly, very visibly saying we're going to honor the memorandum, we're going to help asssure the territorial integrity and

superiority particularly in the air was able to bluff the british and the french into handing czechoslovakia over to him. this was a great shock in the united states and it was at that point that roosevelt first of all talk about increasing aircraft production but secondly set in motion new military plans by the joint board the senior military authority. that plan which was completed in early 1939 was for a war potentially against germany and japan without any help from any other power. in other words they were already preparing for the situation in which hitler might have defeated britain and france. now, this nightmare suddenly seem to be coming true in april and may of 1940. first, the germans under the british navy not only occupied denmark but managed to seize norwalk something which according to the rules of warfare they should've been able to do since the british promised they would use airpower. then came the invasion of elgin holland and france and within six weeks the collapse of france the armistice and virtually everyone thought the eminent invasion probably successful of britain

i don't think people realize the process, the girl who walks off the plane from czechoslovakia and next day on the cover of "vogue." there's a lot that develops her. the hardest part is honestly, you want to have integrity, you want to make sure the girls are doing the right kind of job. being a great manager is knowing when to say yes and no. you don't want to accept every job. i had incredibly strong work ethic. my dad used to own an auto shop, and he used to get up at 5:00 and drive to the bronx. i used to work with him in the summers as a kid and instilled hard work ethic in me. my parents are great. i could never have -- gerri: you're supposed to be disassociated from your parents. >> i didn't have a weird childhood. there was no strains. i had loving parents, they were incredible. i'm not going to lie, it's a fairly caddy business, you hear japanese girls have rejection all the time. and you have to believe in them for them to succeed. we don't do well unless they do well. the only thing in your best interest is to do incredibly well. as an agency, you have to fight for them a lot

but i, you know, i mentioned the story in the book the prague spring in czechoslovakia happened in 1968. i remember it very well. and health care abel was a -- and haber was a playwright who got on kind of a pirate radio station and was protesting the soviet crackdown on the tanks approaching prague, and he was arrested. and in that system, you know, if you stood up to the authorities and you lost, then you were kind of a nonperp. so he wasn't -- nonperson. so he wasn't allowed to put on his plays while he had to work in a brewery. then by the early '90s was president of the czech republic. so we shouldn't think that just because some of these young people now, prominent dissidents of 2010, 2011 who helped to make the egyptian revolution, who lionized and so forth, the egyptian, the current egyptian government has put them in jail. but so, too, was habel arrested. and i don't think that we have heard the last of them. it is a remark bl journey. -- remarkable journey. i tell the story in this book of tunisia and egypt and libya over the past decade that have and a half or so, but coming

they gave him over to czechoslovakia. what josh earnest is doing, and the obama administration is doing, is trying to relegate and define isis, and in a term, or ideology that fits into their own national security strategy. so they don't have to take an action. if i was our allies in the middle east such as israel, jordan, egypt, and also the uae, i would be very nervous as well as the people in europe who are going to start seeing this terrorism exported. i'd be very nervous about the statement that this administration just made. >> i think if the president were here, would he say in new york, that he was trying to make a distinction between a localized fight against the united states, but neglect to take into consideration that isis was gearing up, that they're getting ready to take over the bank in iraq so they get the $1 billion, or half a billion dollars they're gearing up to get seven oil fields and two refineries so they could sell $2 million a day for oil? it showed such a lack of understanding of what was going o

as someone who was born in czechoslovakia, during the munich, the checks were not at the table and do nothing can be done without the ukrainians and being a part of the decision-making process. nato is not a charitable organization. it is a functioning military alliance and countries have to be ready to be a part of it. and countries have to request to be a part of it. they have indicated they are not working in that direction at the moment. i think is important for us to maintain a relationship with the russians, but not at the cost of where we they think they are more important than they are. it may have something to do with what happened in syria. i think that there needs to be -- the channels need to be maintained. there are relationships that have to stay in place. we cannot be a zero-sum in terms of thinking there's only one way to do things. i do think it is up to ukraine to make the choice. >> i agree completely. country should be able to make their own choices. we several times in history have done this thing where we negotiated over the heads of small countries and it has no

the prague revolution where in czechoslovakia people came out in the hundreds of thousands and listened to his incredible speeches, and left the main square and didn't even step on the flower beds. it was a wonderful, joyous thing to do and to be part of. and then the yugoslavs crackup came, and it was a horrible mess that americans didn't understand, this incredibly dangerous -- went on for a long time. i did not see it all through. i left about two-thirds of the way through it, and came home and wrote a book about another subject and felt terrible guilt and actual supply post traumatic stress. i spent a lot of time in sarajevo and had taken risks and the bad guys were winning when i left. so a very strange assignment, from joy to heartbreak. >> host: in 1995, you were talking bat book on the columbia river. hearst -- i think this -- let's watch this clip. we were on the bus at the time. >> i was born there, and i grew up there. >> have you been back lately? >> i spent from -- most of 1993 and part of '94 there, working on a book about the columbia river, which is a big environmental p
