Alliances have shaped grand strategy and warfare since the dawn of
civilization. Indeed, it is doubtful that the United States of
America would have gained its independence without its
Revolutionary War alliance with France. Such alliances may prove
even more important to international security in the twenty-first
century. Economic and financial difficulties alone will ensure that
policy makers attempt to spread the burden of securing vital
interests onto other nations through alliances, both formal
organizations such as NATO and informal alliances of convenience as
developed to wage the Gulf War in 1991. A team of leading
historians examine the problems inherent in alliance politics and
relationships in the framework of grand strategy through the lens
of history. Aimed at not just the military aspects of alliances,
the book uncovers the myriad factors that have made such coalitions
succeed or fail in the past.
