The book explores how domestic politics and political pressures shape the U.S. involvement in NATO, tracing its evolution from a Cold War military alliance against the Soviet Union to a key player in the current geopolitical tensions with China and Russia. It analyzes the historical context of U.S. foreign policy and emphasizes the domestic political factors influencing security commitments to NATO. Additionally, it connects the Biden Administration's framing of the global struggle between democracy and autocracy to the state of American democracy post-January 6.

The book assesses the extent to which the Russian invasion of Ukraine pushed both the U.S. and NATO into making necessary changes to contend with a multipolar world structured in terms of Cold War 2.0 great power competition.
