Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-27 00:00:00 Donald Slatter Skorej datované knihy o tak dynamickej organizácii ako NATO bývajú občas neaktuálne a predikčné tézy autorov úsmevné. Sloan nie je ten prípad. Celkom podrobne, hoc občas príliš USA-centricky mapuje postupný vývoj NATO. Dotýka sa aj témy rozširovania, angažmá v Juhoslávii, či vzťahu NATO-Rusko. V dnešnej dobe, keď je Transatlantic bargain challenged viac ako kedykoľvek pred tým, stojí občas za to prečítať si podobné knihy, triezvo nazrieť na hriechy minulé, a možno nájsť odpovede na dnešné otázky.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-19 00:00:00 Jeffrey Allison Provides a compelling argument for the continued existence of military forces and against overly idealistic views of "world peace" based on an Augustinian view of the imperfect world and the current inaccessibility to a perfect world. I haven't read "The City of God" myself, but even the assumption aside, this book takes a pragmatic approach to the moral basis of maintaining armed forces. Also, a very good reflection on the new directions the US military as a vector of humanitarian aid. Definitely worth the read if you are interested in arguments for the moral legitimacy of the military.
