Power Rules The Evolution of NATOs Conventional Force Posture [Hardcover]

This is a detailed account of the evolution of NATO's conventional force posture from the beginning of the alliance through the dramatic events of the early 1990s, based largely on recently declassified U.S. and British documents.John S. Duffield is Professor of Political Science at Georgia State University. He has published two previous books with Stanford University Press:Power Rules: The Evolution of NATO's Conventional Force Posture(1995) andWorld Power Forsaken: Political Culture, International Institutions, and German Security Policy After Unification(1998). This timely volume is a valuable addition to the literature on world oil markets and particularly on the important issue of US dependence on foreign oil and how the country should deal with it. In a presidential election year, this issue will no doubt take center stage, given soaring oil prices. Duffield explains the subject well, making the book accessible to all readers. - CHOICE
