Some of the chapter stray fairly far from the topic of peacekeeping, but the book is a very good narrative of the major peacekeeping events in the 1990's. The author lays the blame for UN failure squarely at the feet of the member states, particularly the P5. Shawcross uses his high-level access (he travelled with Kofi Annan across the globe) and journalist experience to write a critique of UN peacekeeping missions, with his condemnation aimed at the member states of the UN and their inability to act, rather than the organisation of the UN itself. While history is still to decide if Annan was a great leader or a failure (for never can important figures sit somewhere between those two extremes) Shawcross gives a sympathetic portrayal of the man, and the missions he attempted to bring about, most of which were little more than band-aid operations. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

We have all seen press and television pictures of winding lines of refugees in Africa or on mountain passes in Europe and felt that 'something must be done'. In this urgent new book William Shawcross reveals what lies behind decisions by the 'international community' to intervene in a situation on humanitarian grounds, and what happens when the troops and aid agencies move in. It is a story of noble aspirations and often ignoble real politik. To tell the story of international peacekeeping in the last ten years Shawcross has travelled to the war zones and talked to global policy-makers, leading diplomats and key humanitarian aid officials in Afghanistan, Angola, Cambodia, Bosnia, Iraq, Kosovo, Somalia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and East Timor.
