The Library
Named after the former NATO Secretary General (1964-1971), the Manlio Brosio Library provides support to the academic and research activities of the College.
The Library holds publications in English and French. They cover the fields of international relations, security and defence issues, military affairs, economics, and current world affairs.
On-line access to the catalogue of the collections is currently restricted to College members and visitors to the Library.
External readers are invited to contact the Library when they have specific requests on the Library collections. Books only are available for loan through an inter-library loan service agreed between the NATO Defense College Library and the library of their academic institution.
