Summary: This book is an excellent overview of the UN peacekeepers.
Comment: This book explains the difference between peacekeepers and multinational intervention. It highlights the shortcomings and advantages of peacekeeping (PK). While the book's material is particularly relevant to Cold War-era studies of the UN, the analysis is still applicable. Diehl provides an excellent overview of 6 UN PK missions. He explains why these missions failed and suceeded for different reasons. He also provides several viable alternatives, both institutional and functional options. He brings up several ideas and explains why they won't work, while explaining clearly why some ideas would be a good policy alternative. Furthermore, this edition of Int PK includes an epilogue concerning Somalia, Cambodia, and the former Yugoslovia. Overall, this book should be read by anyone who is interested in: peace in the post-cold war world, peace in a new inter-dependent world, forming a safe world order that can effectively deal with violator states, and the history of UN PK missions. As a third-year international politics student, I would recommend this material to someone who has a fundamental understanding of the UN. This book can be read with meticulous detail or it can be read lightly for overall impressions. The book is well-balanced between honest criticism (compared to cynical insults) and thought-out alternatives (as opposed to flowerly save-the-world recommendations).
