Overview

The first edition of Intervention was selected by Choice as one of the outstanding academic books of 1995. This revised edition includes all the original material - and contains a new Afterword with lessons drawn from the most important recent U.S. military interventions: Bosnia, Haiti, the 1996 Taiwan Straits crisis, the summer 1998 bombing of a terrorist camp in Afghanistan and an alleged chemical weapons factory in Sudan, Operation Desert Fox (Iraq), and Kosovo.
