"A fresh and critically important perspective on foreign
interventions" (Washington Post), Can Intervention Work? distills
Rory Stewart's (author of The Places In Between) and Gerald Knaus's
remarkable firsthand experiences of political and military
interventions into a potent examination of what we can and cannot
achieve in a new era of nation building. As they delve into the
massive, military-driven efforts in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan,
the authors reveal each effort's enormous consequences for
international relations, human rights, and our understanding of
state building. Stewart and Knaus parse carefully the philosophies
that have informed interventionism-from neoconservative to liberal
imperialist-and draw on their diverse experiences in the military,
nongovernmental organizations, and the Iraqi provincial government
to reveal what we can ultimately expect from large-scale
interventions and how they might best realize positive change in
the world. Author and columnist Fred Kaplan calls Can Intervention
Work? "the most thorough examination of the subject [of
intervention] that I've read in a while."
