This controversial enlargement of NATO formalizes the new geopolitical realities in Europe and forces the U.S. military to confront the prospect of defending these former enemies against armed attack."--BOOK JACKET Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject North Atlantic Treaty Organization -- Czech Republic.
