The war in Afghanistan has run for more than a decade, and NATO has
become increasingly central to it. In this book, Sten Rynning
examines NATO's role in the campaign and the difficult diplomacy
involved in fighting a war by alliance. He explores the history of
the war and its changing momentum, and explains how NATO at first
faltered but then improved its operations to become a critical
enabler for the U.S. surge of 2009. However, he also uncovers a
serious and enduring problem for NATO in the shape of a disconnect
between high liberal hopes for the new Afghanistan and a lack of
realism about the military campaign prosecuted to bring it about.
He concludes that, while NATO has made it to the point in
Afghanistan where the war no longer has the potential to break it,
the alliance is, at the same time, losing its own struggle to
define itself as a vigorous and relevant entity on the world stage.
To move forward, he argues, NATO allies must recover their common
purpose as a Western alliance, and he outlines options for change.
