This book provides a cogent analysis of the American commitment to the NATO alliance over the last quarter of a century, from the end of the Cold War to the Ukraine crisis. Yanan Song provides a systematic and thorough study of the wellsprings of U.S. thinking towards NATO and its European allies.” (Professor Adrian G. V. Hyde-Price, Department of Political Science, University of Gothenburg, Sweden)
