Professor Yost as per custom provides a lucid, innovative, and extremely well-documented account of the future of NATO--an issue which will preoccupy US presidents in their essential leadership role of the Atlantic Alliance as it rediscovers its essential purpose of forging a just and lasting peace, accompanied by appropriate security guarantees, for the whole of Europe. Together with Sean Kay's NATO and the Future of European Security (Rowman and Littlefield, 1998), Gerald B. Solomon's The NATO Enlargement Debate (Praeger 1998), James Goldgeier's Not Whether But When (Brookings 1999). and the special issue of Defense Analysis, "NATO at Fifty," ed. by Andrew Dorman and Thomas Durell Young (December 1999), international relations professors and enthusiasts have their core reading in front of them covering the main issues of the mix between collective defense and collective security, partnership with Russia and Ukraine, NATO enlargement, and the development of the concept of "mutually reinforcing institutions" for comprehensive security in the Euro-Atlantic area and beyond. Professor Yost has once again provided a thoughtful and impartial expert analysis of the key issues of our time and those of generations to foll ow.
