The American people want a prompt and effective response\u003cbr\u003eto human disasters when the United States becomes involved. The\u003cbr\u003eArmy is taking steps to enhance its demonstrated effectiveness at\u003cbr\u003esuch operations.\u003cbr\u003eIn this study, Steven Metz examines the policy and strategy\u003cbr\u003eimplications of violence-induced human disasters in Sub-Saharan\u003cbr\u003eAfrica with special emphasis on Rwanda. The author argues that\u003cbr\u003eour senior military leaders, policymakers and strategists must\u003cbr\u003ebetter understand the African security environment. He also warns\u003cbr\u003ethat to avoid overtaxing the military, U.S. objectives in African\u003cbr\u003edisaster relief must be limited. This combination of limited\u003cbr\u003epolicy goals and operational efficiency will allow the U.S.\u003cbr\u003emilitary to serve public demands at a minimal cost to its other\u003cbr\u003eefforts.\u003cbr\u003eThe Strategic Studies Institute is pleased to offer this\u003cbr\u003estudy as part of the ongoing effort to improve American\u003cbr\u003ecapabilities in the complex array of operations other than war we\u003cbr\u003eface in the post-Cold War security environment.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084233064688,"sku":"2940148580539","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148580539_p0.jpg?v=1763705260","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148580539","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
