With full color photographs and maps. "Humanitarian Intervention"
is an operational study of the U.S.-led relief effort PROVIDE
COMFORT, hastily organized in the spring of 1991 in response to the
international outcry to stop the suffering and dying of the Iraqi
Kurds who had been brutally suppressed in the aftermath of DESERT
STORM and had fled across a mountainous border into Turkey. Gordon
W. Rudd documents and describes this challenging operation
involving joint and multinational forces. His study validates the
capacity of military forces, well trained for war, not only to
adapt quickly for humanitarian relief missions without specialized
preparation but also to work alongside civilian relief agencies
attempting to assist the refugees, requiring significant
cooperation between the two groups. Today the potential of the new
round of military-led peace operations to reduce turmoil and
conflict-and, in effect, contribute to shaping the international
environment-is significant, and soldiers now deployed in distant
lands amidst unfamiliar people in the service of their nation will
find Rudd's instructive perspective and record of the Army's
experience invaluable.
