Description 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white) Summary The author focuses on military cooperation between the United States and its allies in times of war and asks: why are allies so unpredictable? The book shows that alliance demands related to military cooperation cannot always be fulfilled by democratic allies due to domestic political constraints. Additionally concerns over military feasibility can further constrain governments in committing resources to war Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from home page (viewed on November 5, 2013) Subject Afghan War, 2001-2021 -- Diplomatic history Iraq War, 2003-2011 -- Diplomatic history POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Government -- International.
