Intervening in Africa - Superpower Peacemaking in a Troubled Continent

As the Cold War faded, Ambassador Herman Cohen, President George Bush's Assistant Secretary of State for Africa, engaged in aggressive diplomatic intervention in Africa's civil wars. This book tells how he and his Africa Bureau team operated in seven countries in crisis: Angola, Ethiopia, Liberia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Somalia, and Sudan. Cohen candidly characterizes key personalities, outlining the lessons learned, and basic principles for practitioners of conflict resolution within states.
