520 1 $a"Writing from the front lines of the hot wars of the post-Cold War world - the Balkans, Africa, the Middle East, and most recently Afghanistan and Iraq for The New York Times Magazine - David Rieff witnessed firsthand most of the armed interventions waged by the West or the United Nations in the name of human rights and democratization. His report is anything but reassuring. In this timely collection of his most illuminating articles, Rieff, one of our leading experts on the subject, reassesses some of his own judgments about the use of military might to solve the world's most pressing humanitarian problems and curb the world's cruelest human rights abusers, presenting what, taken as a whole, is a thoughtful and impassioned argument against armed intervention in all but the most extreme cases."--BOOK JACKET.
