About this book
Reviews
“If you think NATO is a Cold War relic, this book will convince you of the contrary. History’s longest lasting defense alliance will continue to play an important role in the XXI century. Utilizing recent information, the author explains how NATO has repeatedly risen to the occasion to address conflicts in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. It is also a critical approach that identifies and explains its shortcomings and new challenges.” (Javier Aguayo, PH.D., Assistant Professor of Political Science, York College of Pennsylvania, USA)
“A penetrating and deeply insightful look into the world's most powerful alliance and its component organizations. The SWOT analysis methodology provides the reader a well-balanced assessment of the alliance's current state as well as its prospects moving into the future.” (Greg Zellmer. Colonel, US Army (retired))
