Expanding Global Military Capacity for Humanitarian Intervention

Expanding Global Military Capacity For Humanitarian Intervention by Michael E. O'Hanlon (Senior Fellow, Foreign Policy Studies, Bookings institution) is a sober look at the partial effectiveness that humanitarian military intervention has had, saving lives in the Balkans, Haiti, Somalia, Cambodia, and Mozambique. Yet the success of such military missions has often been compromised by the international community's reluctance to send sufficient forces to deal with volatile situations decisively - leading to unchecked genocidal mass murders in Angola, Rwanda, and currently the Congo. A straightforward and passionate appeal to the United States' and the United Nations' role in preventing mass atrocities, Expanding Global Military Capacity For Humanitarian Intervention is a highly commended addition to personal, professional, governmental, academic, and community library Contemporary International Studies collections.
