Summary:

NATO after Fifty Years is a collection of essays that examine, from a wide range of perspectives, the past, present, and future of NATO. The conditions that made the Atlantic alliance a necessity in 1949 have changed considerably over the last fifty years. At the time, it seemed as if only American power could shelter a Europe devastated by World War II from the former Soviet Union, as communism appeared to be on the brink of embracing all the reorganization of Western Europe as an integrated political and economic entity that would assume an equal partnership with the United States.

Since those tense years, the world has witnessed the demise of the Soviet Union and Russia's struggle against its most serious economic crisis in history. The face of world politics and consequently NATO, has changed dramatically.

This volume will inform readers about NATO and a number of other issues, including U.S. defense policy, arms control, and international conflict.
