Critics Review
A significant addition to the growing field of military cooperation in international politics. The chapter on Afghanistan—based on more than 100 interviews with NATO policymakers—is especially impressive. With a cogent argument and meticulously researched, Allies That Count represents an important contribution to the study of coalition warfare, as well as a useful building block for future studies of alliance military effectiveness.
* Political Science Quarterly *Seeks to answer the questions that we had no theoretical or conceptual framework to answer when I was in the Pentagon: what qualities make allies useful in coalition warfare, and when are they more trouble than they are worth?
* Joint Forces Quarterly *Exceptionally well structured and written; thus although it uses complex concepts, it is surprisingly easy to read… . Also a great example of how scholars can build bridges innovatively between different literature and research methods.
* Defense & Security Analysis *Olivier Schmitt
