"Multinational Operations, Alliances, and International Military Cooperation, Past and Future," edited by Robert S. Rush and William W. Epley, publishes twenty-four papers read at the fifth workshop of the Partnership for Peace Consortium's Military History Working Group. This workshop was held in Vienna, Austria, in April 2005. The authors represented ten nations, five of which had been in the Warsaw Pact and five in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization during the Cold War. The papers deal primarily with international relations and military cooperation since the middle of the nineteenth century.
