Although collective defense is NATO's defining mission, its famous Article 5 has been invoked only once, and Historical Dictionary of NATO and Other International Security Organizations explores this and other key aspects of the Alliance's history and operations.
The volume includes a chronology, an introduction, and a comprehensive bibliography. Its cross-referenced dictionary entries its Secretaries-Generals, its Supreme Allied Commanders-Europe, plus all affiliated organizations created to enhance NATO's reach in a broader Euro-Atlantic security architecture (e.g. North Atlantic Consultative Council, Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, NATO-Russia Charter; NATO-Ukraine Charter, and NATO-Mediterranean Dialogue Partners).
