Can NATO survive? The stimulating and highly original essays contained
in this volume provide important new insights into why the treaty
organization was formed, how it developed, and what it has contributed
both to the security and to the integration of Europe. The authors
examine NATO as a strong and intricate webbing holding together the
nations of Europe as well as binding them to the United States as
guarantor of free world stability. This book is essential to the
re-examination now under way of NATO's role in the radically different
post-Cold War world.
