After World War II, Western Europe became closely linked to the
United States--economically through a variety of associations
within the Atlantic Community, and militarily through NATO.
This volume stresses the strategic importance of Western Europe
for the United States. It provides detailed surveys of the
background and preparedness of the NATO defense forces and the
forces of Austria, Switzerland, and other countries of strategic
importance. Each chapter provides a general outline of military
developments since 1945, including such topics as: the relationship
between armed forces and society; recruitment practices; armaments;
organization; relations with NATO; and future projections. The
authoritative series of descriptive, historical, and analytical
essays in this volume makes it an essential resource for defense
specialists, policymakers, and scholars of Western Europe.
