On My Watch: Leading NATO in a Time of War

From the former Secretary General of NATO, a frank and riveting account of running the world’s most powerful military alliance, taking us inside the significant flashpoints of the last decade.

With the reelection of Donald Trump, there is no reason to believe that the debate about the Americans’ relationship with NATO will subside. As Jens Stoltenberg demonstrates in On My Watch, his account of leading the military alliance across an explosive decade, NATO remains a powerful and essential agent of stability. From the Russian annexation of Crimea, the Afghanistan withdrawal, Finland and Sweden joining the Alliance, and the brutal war launched by Russia against Ukraine in 2022, to the close cooperation with Donald Trump and the other US presidents, Stoltenberg had a front row seat to the signal events of our era.

And he has shaped the responses to those events, navigating among competing interests to galvanize Western support for Ukraine while avoiding a world war. He showed that the alliance has an enduring role to play not just in Europe, but across the globe. On My Watch is a necessary read for anyone seeking to understand our fractured world.
