A History of NATO-The First Fifty Years is the first comprehensive study of the institution's activities and development over the past five decades.

The three volumes contain the work of over 60 contributors including articles from Lawrence S. Kaplan, Michael J. Brenner, Christopher Coker, John English, J. L. Granatstein, Bruce Kuniholm, Olav Riste, Kori Schaker, Klaus Schwabe, and Rolf Tamnes.
