Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This superb compilation of primary documents and readings governing the conduct of peace operations is an absolute must for both the national security law practitioner and the informed reader. For the first time in one volume of this genre, the documents included span the important multilateral agreements related to peace operations as well as those significant interpretive pieces which are critical to a full understanding of the intended effect of the agreements. ... The critical importance of this volume is the richness of the selected commentary and the coherence of the volume as a whole, a tribute to the Editor. More importantly, this text has an important thesis concerning the role of law in shaping peace operations which is amply supported by the included documents. ... This is a carefully structured volume that belongs in every practitioner's library. Its importance is its cohesive and in-depth treatment of extremely complex issues, all incorporated in an understand! able and usable manner." -- Judge Jim Terry, Department of Interior, Colonel, USMC Retired
