NATO - The First 50 Years offers the first comprehensive study of the
institution's activities and development over the past five decades.
Written by a team of international scholars, it analyses the factors
which have made NATO the most successful politico-military alliance in
history. It also addresses the perennial problems of transatlantic
relationships, the problems that the Alliance grapples with today. A
wide-ranging and masterful survey, NATO-The First 50 Years will be a
useful reference work for researchers as well as an accessible guide for
students.
