Daalder and O'Hanlon sometimes equivocate--"Could war in Kosovo have been prevented? The answer, we believe, is maybe"--yet Winning Ugly is an excellent summary of what happened and why it happened the way it did. On the question of whether Operation Allied Force actually prevailed, something skeptics have questioned, they write: "The vast majority of Kosovars are far better off today.... [Slobodan] Milosevic unquestionably lost the war, and his defeat was overwhelming." This is a foreign-policy wonk's book, a sober analysis that tries to draw clear lessons from experience. It's not only the first book worth examining for readers interested in what happened in Kosovo; it may be the best available for some time. --John J.

Book Description
The authors conclude their survey of the Kosovo crisis by examining how threats and the use of force might be manipulated in the future to achieve limited political objectives and how the conduct of such coercive diplomacy can best be managed within an alliance context. --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition Relié .
