Editorial Reviews

Review

“Dr. Kissinger has produced a provocative and authoritative reappraisal of the Atlantic Alliance. He is sympathetic to the Alliance and searches for constructive approaches to the structural problems that the Alliance has had, and to the political and strategic issues that it faces. This book is important reading. . . . [Dr. Kissinger] has interesting insight to provide on M.L.F., Charles de Gaulle, and West Germany. His book is well documented and forceful and should provoke enlightened public discussion.”–Library Journal --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kissinger Analysis Before His Fame, September 26, 2002

By 

J. Reynolds (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Troubled Partnership: A Reappraisal of the Atlantic Alliance (Atlantic Policy Study) (Hardcover)

This scholarly work of Henry Kissinger's reflects his powers of analysis before he developed politically, and is an observant study of NATO valuable to anyone interested in the subject.

On the original edition, the portion of the title "The Troubled Partnership" evidently appeared prominently on the cover. Book sales for this sort of work were about what one would expect, except in one small portion of the nation, where sales were remarkably robust. The publisher investigated, and found that the book had been placed not in "current events" or "history," but in the section of the store featuring books about marriage and family self-help.
