accomplishments with reference to NATO. The article is meritorious because it has talked
about the NATO with the usage of scholarly articles, books and academic articles. The article
is important because it talks about how the Red army occupied the European nations and how
the Europeans have tried to make a difference in the way they protect themselves by coming
under the canopy of NATO. The paper is widely based on the significance and weakness of
NATO, and that how NATO has been linked to the security and defense of the European
nations and the role played by NATO in nation building.
NATO, which is also known as North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is also called
North Atlantic Alliance is an intergovernmental military alliance between the thirty North
American and European countries. In the year 1949, on fourth april, the treaty was signed by
the countries together to make a defense force against the Soviet Union. After the world war
ended, the western allies had been forced to acknowledge the necessity of unity and the
reality of division. The formation of the NATO as an institution and also as an organization is
the reason why the western allies came together to form a defensive force against their
common enemies. The formation of NATO was a realization that it was the time to identify
and understand the enemies of the western allies and the time to fight back the enemies in a
powerful way.
The article has also gone through the social and political help that the nation of
America has given to the European countries in order to regain their socio- economic and
political order. The special report on American public opinion that was prepared by the
Division of Public Studies revealed that there was strong American support for Europe,
however, there were some farces in such cases that have also been pointed by the article
itself. The article is detailed and descriptive in nature with the usage of a plethora of
references regarding NATO and other contemporary political tools and aspects. The most
important part of the article is that it is analytical in the areas of political and historical

relations and where it should be. It is not completely analytical, rather it is perfectly blended
between analysis and description. The article has been written with a lot of research done on
the particular topic and the author of the article has delved deep into the factors such as the
delicate and intrinsic relations between America and Europe, the reasons for their coming
together and the reasons for the making of the NATO in a broader and an in- depth way. In
some areas, the article is brief and in some areas, the article is highly descriptive and
analytical. Eisenhower is the important figure who has been elaborately discussed in the
particular scholarly article. It seems as if the author of the article has actively researched and
reinvented information and theories about Eisenhower that are not talked much in the popular
media as well as the parellel media. The article has merit because it focuses on one political
statesman, Eisenhower and his contributions in relation building between Europe and
America as it states that how important are every statesman and political officers are for the
tasks such as nation building and defense.
The article has talked about the immediate and secondary after effects of the world
wars and how a political statesman showed power to carry forward the whole issue of NATO
in a perfect manner that it helped in forming the best defense force of America and Europe
against the Red Army during the turmoil that was going on. The article has both the merits of
being descriptive and analytical in the areas and is worth a read.
