Description: National Archives and Records Administration ARC Identifier 2569740 / Local Identifier 111-TV-491 Big Picture: Decade of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) DVD Copied by Liz Pruszko - Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984). "Decade of NATO" is a film documentary, originally produced by the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance, and narrated by Edward R. Murrow. As released on THE BIG PICTURE it becomes a report on the progress of NATO. It is history in the making. It is a story about this organization and its accomplishments since its birth more than ten years ago. In NATO we have developed a deterrent and a retaliatory capability of great destructive power for the prevention of general war. As stressed in this film episode for the Army's weekly television series, it is the fervent hope that one day the North Atlantic Treaty Organization will outlive the harsh facts of Communist aggression which called it into being. The nations of NATO are all partners, and have an appropriate part to play in international security today...tomorrow...and for the indeterminate future.
