Description:

As the US, the UN, and the international community ponder peacekeeping or nation-building efforts in Lebanon and the Sudan, and as operations continue in Iraq and Afghanistan, this book is designed to guide and inform future efforts. The authors present lessons-learned from previous missions in order to help practitioners avoid repeating earlier mistakes, help political leaders evaluate the cost and likely success of proposed operations, and help citizens evaluate their government's consequent performance.
