For more than 40 years, the Atlantic Alliance has been the major
U.S. foreign policy commitment of every administration. Through
political and military commitments to 11, and ultimately 15, other
nations, the United States through NATO had abandoned an
isolationist tradition of more than 150 years. However, important
as this step was, few historians of American foreign relations have
given prominence to the alliance in their studies. In this volume,
produced from a conference sponsored by the U.S. delegation to NATO
in 1989, seven American diplomatic historians focus their attention
(some for the first time) on the role of NATO in periods of their
specialization in the post-World War II years. In almost all these
essays, newly released materials in presidential libraries and in
the National Archives have been used. The result is a history of
the past 40 years of NATO from an American perspective, placing the
alliance within the larger frame of America's foreign policy as a
superpower. The historians' interpretations benefit from their
intimacy with cognate issues on which each has written over the
years. Whatever their individual interpretations, each reveals the
important role. NATO has played in fashioning the "American
Century."
