It examines the nature of the war, US security and humanitarian interests there, the distorted US perceptions of the conflict in Bosnia, and the factors discouraging intervention by two American administrations. The book ends with suggestions for a new approach to a world where uncertainty in foreign policy and less clearly defined goals and strategies will be the norm, and explicit cost/benefit evaluations of acts of intervention will be necessary. |

| Publisher Description: This book examines the nature of the war in the former Yugoslavia, US interests there and US perceptions of the conflict. The policies of the Bush and Clinton administrations toward the war and the factors discouraging US intervention are examined and evaluated in the context of a post-Cold War international system. Finally, the lessons for future decisions on international intervention in a post-Cold War where old policy guidelines are obsolete are discussed and critiqued. |
