NATO in Afghanistan: Fighting Together, Fighting Alone: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "NATO in Afghanistan: Fighting Together, Fighting Alone" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Modern warfare is almost always multilateral to one degree or another, requiring countries to cooperate as allies or coalition partners. Yet as the war in Afghanistan has made abundantly clear, multilateral cooperation is neither straightforward nor guaranteed. Countries differ significantly in what they are willing to do and how and where they are willing to do it. Some refuse to participate in dangerous or offensive missions. Others change tactical objectives with each new commander. Some countries defer to their commanders while others hold them to strict account.
NATO in Afghanistan explores how government structures and party politics in NATO countries shape how battles are waged in the field. Drawing on more than 250 interviews with senior officials from around the world, David Auerswald and Stephen Saideman find that domestic constraints in presidential and single-party parliamentary systems--in countries such as the United States and Britain respectively--differ from those in countries with coalition governments, such as Germany and the Netherlands. As a result, different countries craft different guidelines for their forces overseas, most notably in the form of military caveats, the often-controversial limits placed on deployed troops.
Providing critical insights into the realities of alliance and coalition warfare, NATO in Afghanistan also looks at non-NATO partners such as Australia, and assesses NATOs performance in the 2011 Libyan campaign to show how these domestic political dynamics are by no means unique to Afghanistan.

Acknowledgments
The initial, and perhaps unconscious, impetus for this book came out of the U.S. experience in the Balkans. Steve Saideman spent the 20012 academic year in the Pentagons Joint Staff Directorate of Strategic Planning and Policy on the Bosnia desk when the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was still engaged in the Bosnian stabilization mission. Dave Auerswald had previously worked on the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff during NATOs intervention in Kosovo. These experiences gave us our first exposure to the challenges of NATO interventions, which by no means followed the textbook of how a NATO operation was supposed to work. Thus, our first acknowledgments are to the Council on Foreign Relations and the American Political Science Association for the fellowships that inspired this project.
