Reviews for Sharing the Burden?: NATO and its Second-Tier Powers
'Zyla has produced an outstanding study of Canada's role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization from the Cold War's end through the 1990s... The author's summary of NATO's evolution during this time period is especially well done... Highly recommended.'
