Publisher's Synopsis
This is a compendium of case studies that seek to describe the best uses of military power, particularly airpower, in response to genocide. The writers examine recent instances of genocide in Somalia, Rwanda, and Côte d'Ivoire to draw out useful generalizations concerning the nature of genocide, international reactions to genocide, and effective responses to genocide and the possibility of genocide. Dr. Douglas C. Peifer is an associate professor in the Department of Strategy and Leadership at the US Air War College.
