This study by Larry J. Woods and Colonel Timothy R. Reese analyzes
the massive turmoil afflicting the nation of Sierra Leone,
1995-2002, and the efforts by a variety of outside forces to bring
lasting stability to that small country. The taxonomy of
intervention ranged from private mercenary armies, through the
Economic Community of West African States, to the United Nations
and the United Kingdom. In every case, those who intervened
encountered a common set of difficulties that had to be overcome.
Unsurprisingly, they also discovered challenges unique to their own
organizations and political circumstances. This cogent analysis of
recent interventions in Sierra Leone represents a cautionary tale
that political leaders and military planners contemplating
intervention in Africa ignore at their peril. (Originally published
