Overview
This book explains the struggle of the Bush and Clinton administrations to fashion a coherent Bosnia policy. It examines the nature of the war, US security and humanitarian interests there, the distorted US perceptions of the conflict in Bosnia, and the factors discouraging intervention by two American administrations. The book ends with suggestions for a new approach to a world where uncertainty in foreign policy and less clearly defined goals and strategies will be the norm, and explicit cost/benefit evaluations of acts of intervention will be necessary.Synopsis
