- Summary:
- Formulating a strategy involves complex interactions between politicians, strategic commanders and generals in the field. The authors explore the strategic decisions made during NATO missions and reveal that military offeciers at an operational level can achieve change, as General McChrystal did for Afghanistan in 20009. The authors conclude that NATO cannot succeed in complex operations without the political support for these bottom-up initiatives. Book jacket.
