Description

This work examines two complex and interrelated topics: the role of peacekeeping and related operations in managing nontraditional crises, and the international community's response to the recent conflict in Bosnia. The author explains the changing nature of international involvement and draws out lessons for the future.

Reviews

The book is clearly useful. For someone who does not have a specialist's understanding of the Bosnian crisis, the book competently fills the gaps by describing events in detail. The discussions of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) and its evolution into Implementation Forces (IFOR) are particularly valuable. At the same time, the appendices, a series of tables laying out various forms of intervention, are well done and lend themselves to good pedagogical use.-International History Review
