Brookings Institution: 1971. 177 pages. "More than 25 years after the close of WWII the United States still maintains powerful military forces in Western Europe. To some these forces are a costly anachronism; others consider them vital to American security and to constructive political change in Europe. The debate is especially sharp in the U.S. Senate where several proposals to cut troop strength in Europe were extensively considered and narrowly defeated in 1971. And the debate is likely to continue for the issues go to the heart of U.S. foreign policy. This book explores those issues in the lift of changing circumstances on both sides of the Atlantic."
