Urgent call to action from NATO's former top military officer

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine is a tectonic shift. War is back on the European continent. The invasion has ushered in a new era of collective defence for all free democratic nations in the world.
Admiral Rob Bauer, NATO's highest-ranking military officer for many years, has been travelling the world since 2022 to impress upon policy-makers, companies and citizens the need to prepare for war. Because the better prepared NATO Allies are, the better able they will be to deter aggression, and the less likely they are to be drawn into conflicts with any great powers in the near or distant future.
This book offers seven-key lessons to bolster our security. It is an invitation to think about the contribution we can all make to be ready for war. By preparing ourselves, we improve our chances of preventing war. The responsibility for protecting our freedom does not rest solely on the shoulders of those in uniform. It is a task for us all.
