For over four years, Washington responded to the war in Bosnia by handing the problem to the Europeans to resolve and substituting high-minded rhetoric for concerted action. Then, in the summer of 1995, the Clinton administration shifted course, deciding to assert the leadership that would prove necessary to end the war in Bosnia. This book - based on numerous interviews with key participants in the decision-making process and written by a former National Security Council aide - examines how the policy to end the war took shape. The case study seeks to demonstrate how determined individuals can exploit their positions to change US government policy issues on crucial issues. In so doing, Daalder not only explains how Washington launched the diplomacy that culminated at Dayton, but also why the subsequent peace proved to be difficult to establish.

5.0 out of 5 stars
How the United States Got Involved in Bosnia,
By Karla J. Nieting (Spokane, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting to Dayton: The Making of America's Bosnia Policy (Paperback)
Getting to Dayton is an extremely well-written analysis of how the United States became actively engaged in Bosnia in 1995. Daalder weaves the story of how policy makers in Washington actually made (and make) their decisions. He possesses intimate knowledge of the actors in the story and has enormous regard for the delicate sequencing of events. His research, which is based on personal interviews, extensive reviews of available literature, and personal experience in the White House, marks this book not only as one of the best books on U.S. Bosnia policy but on the structure of U.S. policy making. The book is of equal interest to both those inside and outside the Beltway.
