Appendix: The North Atlantic Treaty, Washington, D.C., April 4, 1949 Selected Bibliography About the Author IndexReviewsStanley Sloan has for many years been one of the most influential and authoritative analysts of the NATO Alliance. In his new book Permanent Alliance he demonstrates once again his in-depth knowledge of NATO issues and his sound, balanced judgements of both the strengths and weaknesses of the Alliance as it strives to adapt to the 21st century security challenges. This book should be at the top of the list for anyone who wants to understand today's NATO. --Jamie Shea, Director, Policy Planning, Private Office of the Secretary General, NATO Author wrote Op-Ed In Defense of NATO for the New York Times http: //www.nytimes.com/2011/06/29/opinion/29iht-edsloan28.html?_r=2 <p> No one is more qualified to write a study on transatlantic relations than Stan Sloan. During his professional life at the Congressional Research Service he has gathered invaluable insights in the field of transatlantic relations. He continued his career teaching and researching the subject matter at American and European universities and 'think tanks'. Through careful research and thoughtful analysis, Sloan outlines in a new book the past. present and future of the transatlantic bargain. He convincingly argues that although NATO lies at the heart of the transatlantic bargain, NATO has always been more than simply a collective defense organization. It also represents a community of values. Whether this will be enough to survive the 21st century remains to be seen. He discusses various ideas and opinions to strengthen NATO's viability, putting forward amongst others the idea for a reinforced Atlantic community. Sloan's book is an outstanding study on the subject matter of transatlantic relations. He is an original thinker, an experienced researcher and - clearly visible- loves the subject matter. This study is a must both for teachers and students of political science and contemporary history. Bram Boxhoorn, Director Netherlands Atlantic Association Stanley Sloan, a distinguished NATO analyst, has been thinking, lecturing, and writing about the transatlantic bargain for over a generation. In this, his third book on the subject, he has produced a masterly re-examination of the sixty-year relationship between America and Europe. Cautiously optimistic about NATO's future, this authoritative study should be welcomed by scholars and policymakers alike. It will be a valuable text for my NATO history classes. Lawrence S.
