This unusual history of the first four secretaries-general of NATO
and their importance in the post-war politics of Western defense is
a study of diplomacy-of individuals and the impact of their
personalities on international events. It can perhaps best be
described in terms of what it is not. It is not, for example,
exclusively a book on NATO, nor is it a text on international
organization. It is neither a history of European politics nor an
analysis of East-West relations. It is not a specialized study of
nuclear politics, and it does not pretend to be a record of the
political interplay between the United States and its European
allies. Yet all of these themes appear in the work. In the course
of preparing this book, Dr. Jordan came to know the four
secretaries-general, as well as many other individuals involved in
NATO since its inception. While his analysis is objective and he
has thoroughly documented his observations, there is also a
valuable personal element in his assessment of the impact the
persons who occupied this relatively little known but very
important office had on the institution they headed and the
international political environment in which they operated.
