Overview

The war in the Persian Gulf marked the greatest "projection of power" in history, dwarfing in its scale and speed even the D-day landings of 1944. It dramatically demonstrated the revolution in military affairs which has followed the end of confrontation in Europe. Yet the Gulf War and its aftermath also demonstrated the vast complexities of the projection of power, even in the favorable conditions witnessed in the Gulf.

In this important and timely study, Richard Connaughton, who has visited a peace-keeping operation in Kurdistan and has worked in close collaboration with U.S. military authorities, makes a valuable contribution to the study of international affairs. Military Intervention in the 1990s provides the first comprehensive professional study of the problems of future interventions in the context of a complex of political and military issues at the operational level.

Synopsis

By considering the operational factors involved in all types of intervention, and by examining some of the historical precedents for these operations, Richard Connaughton provides a timely interpretation of international affairs.
