'Dividing the transatlantic coalition has proven to be an effective strategy of weaker actors from Saddam Hussein to the Taliban. Damon Coletta shows convincingly how a common crisis information infrastructure operated jointly with our partners can encourage trust, reduce friction, strengthen resolve and bring allies together without compromising wartime operations. A refreshing contribution to the debate on how the U.S. can increase its legitimacy, reduce overstretch and stave off decline.'
