The Quest for Peace: NATO Enlargement and the Geo-Political Implications of Expanding the Treaty throughout Eastern Europe

The book explores NATO's evolution from a defensive alliance against the Soviet Union to its current role in ensuring security and stability in the Euro-Atlantic region. With the absence of the original threats, NATO faces new challenges, including demographic shifts in Europe and a resurgent Russia. The narrative examines European nations' interest in joining NATO for enhanced security and presents two key policy options for the United States: either disengage from the alliance or continue active involvement and support its expansion.
