The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, 1948-1957: Community or Alliance?

Milloy Challenges The View That Creating Greater Alliance Unity Has Usually Been Only A Canadian Preoccupation - Other Members, Notably The United States And Britain, Displayed A Sincere Interest As Well - And Further Suggests That Canadian Actions Sometimes Acted As An Impediment. He Argues That The Idea Failed Partly Because The Lack Of An Agreed-upon Definition For Nato's Non-military Potential Hampered Focused Discussion. With Nato Facing A Post-9/11 Relevancy Crisis, Milloy Shows That There Are Parallels To The Inter-alliance Struggles Of The 1950s And That Many Of The Early Frustrations And Obstacles Are Still Present.
