This publication considers the lessons to be gained for Britain, the British armed forces, and for NATO as a whole, from the Yugoslav wars of dissolution (1991-1999), with particular emphasis on the Kosovo crisis. The papers come from a diverse and high quality mixture of analysts, practitioners and policy-makers. The issues developed here represent a significant advance in the emerging debate on the lessons to be learnt from the Balkan experience, which will shape thinking on defence and international security far into the new millennium.

'This book is a broad discussion of how future military action, peacekeeping and civil-military relations should be handled. James Gow stresses for instance, that a time frame for the 'Wests' involvement be 'as long as it takes.' - Peace Research
