| Synopsis: |
"The NATO Encyclopedia" provides a complete overview of the history, organization, and purposes of the transatlantic alliance. A thoroughly comprehensive work, it brings together the range of security matters that the alliance encompasses and contains entries on specific events and figures, as well as essays on the broad themes and issues that have shaped NATO since 1949. Included in the work are analyses of alliance expansions and past and contemporary military operations, as well as overviews of NATO's principal agencies, organs, and components. "The NATO Encyclopedia" addresses a range of questions concerning the alliance's past performance and its future utility to members on both sides of the Atlantic. It chronicles the organization's history as a multinational alliance of free nations united in defense of freedom in Europe and its evolution into a military coalition in defense of democracy and human rights wherever the interests of its members are involved. "The NATO Encyclopedia" will long serve as a basic resource for political commentators, academics, students, and military professionals. |
