Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
During the Eisenhower and Kennedy years, key American policymakers considered European unity as a potential element of stability and prosperity for the West, and as a factor of strength for the Atlantic Alliance. These policymakers were part of a unique network of friends and colleagues, in which both Americans and Europeans 'co-conspired' to further the cause of European integration.
