NATO and the Uncertain Balance
Presented by Laurence Martin , Professor of War Studies aK King's College, London
Fears about the future of detente have been underlined by the failure of the Russians to keep their Helsinki promises. by the increase in United States defence expenditure. and by the operations in Angola. All this has once more brought into question the military capability of NATO to face up to the Warsaw Pact countries.
Are the West's defences, both nuclear and conventional, sufficiently strong and sufficiently integrated? What are their strengths and weaknesses?
