’An accessible, hands-on guide to the changing strategic and tactical realities within peacekeeping deployments, this fascinating set of essays speaks to actual and potential troop contributors, everything you wanted to know about 21st-century peace operations but were afraid to ask.’ Thomas G. Weiss, The City University of New York, USA ’Do more with less! Peacekeepers around the world are familiar with such instructions.
