<br/><br/>Introduction : why are allies so unpredictable? --  A theory of asymmetric security cooperation --  Exceeding expectations : the UK and the War on Terror --  Canada-US relations and the War on Terror --  Australia : regional power, global war --  Conclusion : overcoming the great asymmetry. 
<br/><br/> 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.
