Reviews

"Barnett's analysis of the Rwandan crisis provides insight into the operations of the United Nations and its bureaucracy... He explores a cultural landscape few outsiders have viewed.... Yet, despite the insights, which explain alternative logics, this important, crucial analytical work tends to expose how the UN's decision-making bureaucracy, run by good people, can contribute to the evil and darkness of Rwanda."
