In NATO’s Gamble, Henriksen discloses the origins and content of NATO’s strategic and conceptual thinking on how the use of force was to succeed politically in altering the behavior of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). The air campaign, known as Operation Allied Force, was the first war against any sovereign nation in the history of NATO and the first major combat operation conducted for humanitarian purposes against a state committing atrocities within its own borders. This book examines the key political, diplomatic, and military processes that shaped NATO and U.S. management of the Kosovo crisis and shows how air power became the main instrument in their strategy to coerce FRY to accede to NATO’s demands.Dag Henriksen is a lecturer in air power at the Royal Norwegian Air Force Academy.

"I believe NATO owes its deepest appreciation to Captain Henriksen for his in-depth research and his incisive analysis of Operation Allied Force. NATO's Gamble chronicles the mistakes in planning that NATO is destined to make again unless today's leadership resolves to learn from the past." — General Joseph W. Ralston, USAF (Ret.), former Supreme Allied Commander, Europe "NATO's Gamble is an excellent case study of the application of airpower in our modern circumstances. It gives a well-researched and accurate account of those difficult days as we undertook Operation Allied Force. Dag Henriksen shows clearly the complexities that surround the apparent simplicity of the air weapon when it is used. I commend this book to political and military practitioners in particular and to all interested in the policy and strategy for the use of military force." — General Sir Rupert Smith, Deputy Supreme Commander Allied Command Europe during Operation Allied Force
