This volume is a must read to understand twenty-first century conflict. In todays supercharged world of social networks, instantaneous communications, and suddenly constructed narratives, national leaders must bring their publics along. The long, dificult, and still unfinished NATO campaign in Afghanistan offers many lessons both good and bad for how to approach to aspect of creating security in a highly complex world.

Admiral James Stavridis
Supreme Allied Commander at NATO 20092013 and Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, USA

How states explain their participation in conflict is not a passive reflection of a policy position, but actively shapes the scope of the conflict itself, and frames how actions are understood by the enemy, ones own side, and other audiences. So strategic narrative matters. This admirable book, focused primarily on strategic narrative and domestic audiences, serves as a guide for policy-makers and students of contemporary conflict.

Emile Simpson, author of War from The Ground Up: Twenty-First-Century Combat as Politics

How do Western governments persuade their publics of the necessity for fighting wars of choice? This fascinating volume explores the importance and effectiveness of different national strategic narratives for the war in Afghanistan and, in so doing, explains why some western states were more successful than others in sustaining public support for this long and costly war.

Strategic Narratives, Public Opinion, and War

This volume explores the way governments endeavored to build and maintain public support for the war in Afghanistan, combining new insights on the effects of strategic narratives with an exhaustive series of case studies.

In contemporary wars, with public opinion impacting heavily on outcomes, strategic narratives provide a grid for interpreting the why, what, and how of the conflict. This book asks how public support for the deployment of military troops to Afghanistan was garnered, sustained, or lost in 13 contributing nations. Public attitudes in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe toward the use of military force were greatly shaped by the cohesiveness and content of the strategic narratives employed by national policy-makers. Assessing the ability of countries to craft a successful strategic narrative, the book addresses the following key areas: (1) how governments employ strategic narratives to gain public support; (2) how strategic narratives develop during the course of the conflict; (3) how these narratives are disseminated, framed, and perceived through various media outlets; (4) how domestic audiences respond to strategic narratives; (5) how this interplay is conditioned both by events on the ground, in Afghanistan, and by structural elements of the domestic political systems.

This book will be of much interest to students of international intervention, foreign policy, political communication, international security, strategic studies, and IR in general.
