The first comprehensive history of NATO in the 1960s, based on the
systematic use of multinational archival evidence.
This new book is the result of a gathering of leading Cold War
historians from both sides of the Atlantic, including Jeremi Suri,
Erin Mahan, and Leopoldo Nuti. It shows in great detail how the
transformation of NATO since 1991 has opened up new perspectives on
the alliances evolution during the Cold War. Viewed in retrospect,
the 1960s were instrumental to the strengthening of NATO's
political clout, which proved to be decisive in winning the Cold
War even more so than NATO's defense and deterrence
capabilities.
In addition, it shows that NATO increasingly served as a hub for
state, institutional, transnational, and individual actors in that
decade. Contributions to the book highlight the importance of
NATO's ability to generate "soft power," the scope and limits of
alliance consultation, the important role of common transatlantic
values, and the growing influence of small allies. NATO's survival
in the crucial 1960s provides valuable lessons for the current
bargaining on the purpose and cohesion of the alliance.
This book will be of much interest to students of international
history, Cold War studies and strategic studies.
