Signal Corps cameramen cover our participation in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a new and revolutionary development in American history. This is a factual report with swiftly moving scenes and exciting narrative on how our country, in the last forty years, has thrown its full economic and military power into a deadly struggle to prevent the triumph of a dangerous aggressor in Western Europe. Never before has this country committed herself to go to the aid of a country outside this hemisphere under attack--never before have we received similar guarantees from other countries. In this film presentation, viewers learn how the morale and self confidence of European peoples and their armies have risen far above the low level of 1949, thereby taking much of the steam out of communist propaganda.
