Editorial Reviews

"This book is very timely. In addition to international interests in how NATO will respond to the crisis in Syria and growing instability across North Africa and the Middle East, the issues covered in this book will be debated at the highest levels in the run up to the next NATO summit in 2014. The quality of the work is very high and offers significant insights into NATO's recent experience with crisis management missions. Strategy in NATO will make a valuable contribution to not only improving understanding of NATO's past and how it operates, but even more importantly, how it will address new challenges." - Jorge Benitez, Director of NATOSource and Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council
