Book Description HTML

Atlantica: The Legislative History of the Atlantic Union Movement in the U.S. Congress and Beyond (1939 - 1980) documents a legislative attempt in the United States Congress and beyond to transform the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) into an Atlantic Union capable of growing into a democratic world federation. Few Americans realize that every President of the United States between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald W. Reagan endorsed the Atlantic Union approach as a federalist solution to our common problems. The American people must now decide if international federalism is the best way to solve our common problems today without sacrificing free. It is time to explore this conveniently forgotten history.
