NATO Alliance History explores the evolution of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization from its Cold War origins to its present-day role in transatlantic security. The book examines how this defensive alliance, formed in 1949, has adapted its military strategy and political maneuvering to face evolving security threats. A key focus is on the dynamic of burden-sharing among member states, highlighting the challenges and successes in maintaining a cohesive front. The book highlights NATO’s capacity to adapt to geopolitical realities as a crucial factor in its enduring success.
The book traces NATO’s development chronologically and thematically, beginning with its foundational principles and early Cold War strategies like ‘flexible response.’ It analyzes significant periods, including the post-Cold War era and the ‘War on Terror, ‘ culminating in an assessment of NATO’s current strategic posture amid renewed great power competition.
It draws from declassified documents, government archives, and interviews with former officials to provide a comprehensive and balanced account of NATO’s history and its ongoing debates.
