NATO: The Spanish Connection. Spain and NATO in the 1970's.

摘要

The absence of Spain from NATO has been detrimental to the best interests of the United States, the alliance, and Spain. While European opposition to the admission of Spain has been based on long standing historical, economic, and religious issues, the dominant factor has been animosity toward one man - General Francisco Franco. Analysis of the problem of Spain's entry into NATO has been focused on the 1970's. Research has been balanced, to the extent possible, between investigation in U. S. and European sources.
