This book, first published in 1991, provides a major analysis of
the prelude to the US's Cold War maritime strategy, showing how
NATO's maritime forces were organised in the period. It examines
how the United States Navy and allied navies, particularly the
Royal Navy, were incorporated into the Alliance's nuclear and
conventional deterrent forces. It looks at the structure of the
main naval commands, the growth of Soviet maritime forces and the
impact of the flexible response strategy on NATO's naval posture in
the 1970s. Drawing upon many declassified documents, this account
fills an important gap in postwar literature on American seapower
and its relation to European security. It also addresses important
aspects of NATO strategy and organisation.

This book focuses on the critical issues shaping the bilateral
defense relationship of the U.S. and Canada, including the future
of ballistic missile defense, the increased deployment of air- and
sea-launched cruise missiles, and the growing debate within Canada
over security relations with the US.

The protection of the homeland is the top priority for U.S.
national security strategy. Strategic defense, however, has been an
overlooked dimension in the vast literature on the U.S. strategic
posture, with even less attention given to the necessity and
dynamics of security collaboration within North America. Drawing on
the expertise of scholars from the U.S., Canada and Mexico, the
book offers a wide range of perspectives on recent trends in, and
future prospects for, the military and political evolution of North
American strategic defense. North American strategic defense is a
topic too often taken for granted: as this excellent book shows,
that is a mistake. In the 21st century, perhaps even more than the
20th, it will be an issue of cardinal importance to both the United
States and Canada. Eliot A. Cohen Robert E. Osgood Professor of
Strategic Studies, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International
Studies NORAD's binational command is unique, and this timely and
ambitious book examines its continued relevance to North American
defense against a host of new global threats. It broadens the focus
of what we mean by North American defense, contemplates how we
might include Mexico in various regional security arrangements, and
considers the dynamics of expanded North American interdependence
in the Trump era. Laura Dawson Director of the Canada Institute,
Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars North American
Strategic Defense in the 21st Century is an important book. This
edited volume brings together a galaxy of stars, both rising and
established, with outstanding credentials regarding NORAD and
associated matter in the study of security. This original and
well-written volume is the first of its kind since the Cold War -
long overdue and impressive in contents. The chapters cover both
panoramic issues and more specific matters, and the collection is
essential reading for academics, policy-makers and the general
public. Patrick James Dornsife Dean's Professor, School of
International Relations, University of Southern California

In April the Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute hosted
its Annual Strategy Conference. This year's theme, "Strategy During
the Lean Years: Learning From the Past and the Present," brought
together scholars, serving and retired military officers, and
civilian defense officials from the United States, Canada, and the
United Kingdom to discuss strategy formulation during times of
penury from Tactitus to Force XXI. Dr. Joel J. Sokolsky of the
Royal Military College of Canada made the point that for Canada
defense policy and strategy traditionally have been made in "times
of penury." During the Cold War, Canadian policy was one of a
"strategy of commitment." Since the end of the Cold War, Ottawa has
adopted a "strategy of choice" derived from Canadian national
interests. The document upon which Canada bases its defense policy
is the 1994 Canadian White Paper. Dr. Sokolsky argues that the
current defense policy acknowledges the problems endemic to
peacekeeping, but that the rising tide of peacekeeping operations
may have passed. Fortunately, Dr. Sokolsky maintains, the current
White Paper also allows for a general commitment to multilateral
approaches to security. Canada and the United States have stood
together for more than half a century; allies and partners in war
and peace. As the Canadian Defence Forces and the U.S. Army seek to
shape change rather than to be shaped by it, they cannot help but
profit from an open debate of the difficult issues that confront
them. To that end, the Strategic Studies Institute presents Dr.
Sokolsky's views for your consideration.
