NATO (Not for Individual Sale): Volume 3: The First Fifty Years

by Gustav Schmidt

A History of NATO-The First Fifty Years is the first comprehensive study of the institution's activities and development over the past five decades. Written by a team of international scholars, it analyzes the factors which have made NATO the most successful politico-military alliance in history. It also addresses the perennial problems of transatlantic relationships and the problems that the Alliance grapples with today. A wide-ranging and masterful survey, this book will be an indispensable reference work and an accessible guide for students. The three volumes contain the work of over 60 contributors including articles from Lawrence S. Kaplan, Michael J. Brenner, Christopher Coker, John English, J. L. Granatstein, Bruce Kuniholm, Olav Riste, Kori Schaker, Klaus Schwabe, and Rolf Tamnes. Author Gustav Schmidt is Professor of International Politics, Faculty of Social Sciences, and a co-opted member of the Faculty of History, Ruhr-Universität Bochum.
