Abstract

Many interviews were conducted in the course of researching this book. From Washington, DC to Brussels, from Moscow to Sophia, Bulgaria, dozens of men and women with unique expertise in NATO, the European Union, transatlantic relations, and the war on terror were generous in sharing their time and insights. Each interview was conducted along similar lines and began with this introduction: “I am examining a central paradox gripping NATO today” individuals were informed. “Despite the outward appearance of dynamic activity and a host of reforms designed to revitalize the organization, NATO has never known a time of greater division and uncertainty leading so many to question the long-term viability of the Alliance.”
