Editorial Reviews

The goal of this text is to apply theory developed from social science research to military doctrine and test it against specific cases of peace operations. Contributors examine such disparate situations as peacekeeping in Cyprus, intervention in the Dominican Republic in 1965-66, peace enforcement in Somalia, and UN operations in El Salvador, the Congo, the former Yugoslavia, and Haiti, and Cambodia. Among the authors are active and retired officers from the US and Canadian military, political scientists, and Defense Department officials. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
