      This is a controversial look at the changing face of war and the role of the military in the 21st century. Military forces are now confronted, not only with the non-conventional threats of terrorism but the moral dilemmas of humanitarian intervention and human rights. Gwyn Prins explores these conflicting impulses using a variety of examples: the September 11th attacks and the history of "spectacular" terrorism, humanitarian intervention in Bosnia, Kosovo, West Africa and elsewhere, the extradition of General Pinochet for human rights abuses and the nuclear issue, in the light of ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan. Wide-ranging and challenging, this book should interest all those seeking to understand the enormous recent changes in military strategy and global politics.
