Reviews

Sharply worded statements of uncomfortable truths.
*Foreign Affairs*

A short chapter by the Canadian General Romeo Dallaire in Hard Choices must qualify as the most gripping account of peacekeeping ever written.
*London Review Of Books, November, 1999*

The book is not about Kosovo per se, but its themes and illustrations are pertinent to our current turmoil in the Balkans. One obvious point is that the consequences of inaction can be horrible.
*The Boston Sunday Globe, April 18, 1999*

Every chapter in this timely book is worth reading.
*Perspectives on Political Science*

The volume is the most comprehensive available about the view of the international community on morally sound and policy-prudent intervention. . . . Recommended for upper-division undergraduate, graduate, and faculty collections.
*CHOICE*

Each of these essays shows a different aspect of the dilemmas confronting humanitarian workers as well as the multiple and often incompatible tasks that fall within the range of humanitarian intervention.
*Nicholas Xenos, University of Massachusetts, Amherst*

This volume illuminates what may be the challenge for the next decade, century, and millennium: closing the gap between lofty rethoric and the reality in the field.
*International Politics*

The book is a solid contribution to the ever-growing debate on humanitarian intervention.
*Journal of Peace Research*

Hard Choices is a remarkably franc attempt to consider the consequences and shortcomings of humanitarian intervention.
*International Review Of The Red Cross*
