Reviews

Solomon draws his research data from a wide range of sources, with extensive and well-chosen quotes frequently used to docoment individual phases of the debate....Solomon's book reflects his long-term involvement with the NATO enlargement process, of which he has been a great supporter, and offers us useful insight into that process. His clear narrative line is supported by the wealth of quotes, thus bringing the events to life. The NATO Enlargement Debate is a much-needed historical compendium on the NATO enlargement debate and its impact on European security. -NSSQ ?Solomon draws his research data from a wide range of sources, with extensive and well-chosen quotes frequently used to docoment individual phases of the debate....Solomon's book reflects his long-term involvement with the NATO enlargement process, of which he has been a great supporter, and offers us useful insight into that process.

His account is a practitioner's perspective by a politician who has brought to Congress a keen understanding of foreign affairs. This is required reading for those who seek better to understand the rationale and history of NATO enlargement. -William V. Roth, Jr. U.S. Senate The historical significance of NATO is much greater than any benefit gained by the member states of the alliance. The same could be said of NATO's openness concept--the continuous acceptance of new members that, when realized, is called NATO enlargement. This process has protected the democratic world and is expanding it. I extend my heartiest congratulations to U.S. Congressman Gerald B. Solomon for this record of enlargement's history. His important work contributes to the reinforcement of democracy in the world. -Vytautas Landsbergis Chairman of the Parliament, Republic of Lithuania
