Summary: Interesting For The Initiate
Comment: The ideas put forward by Mr O'Hanlon in this slim volume roughly reflect the state of current western interventionist (or non interventionist as the case may be) policy regarding the use of force to serve humanitarian ends.

Although Mr O'Hanlon communicates an obviously extensive knowledge about international affairs, his guide to establishing military criteria for forceful intervention falls short of the goal. Although the author sets out some useful guidelines about what methodologies, barriers, and costs policymakers and the public should expect in operations of peace enforcement, he fails to make a strong case that intervention is in fact a desirable policy goal for the western nations.

On the whole, I see this slim volume as adding nothing new to the debate in world affairs, particularly in regards to peace enforcement as an extension of western economic imperalism. It's an interesting summation of the ideas that have flowed from men such from Ginggrich to Shawcross, however it lacks originality of ideas and presentation. Other people have made explained the issue much more provactively, and with a great deal more authorial flair. It's not a bad book, but I wouldn't put it first on my list.
