{"product_id":"9780826516442","title":"First Do No Harm: Humanitarian Intervention and the Destruction of Yugoslavia","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn First Do No Harm, David Gibbs focuses on the 1991-1999 breakup of Yugoslavia, which helped forge the idea that the United States and its allies could stage humanitarian interventions that would end ethnic strife. It is widely believed that NATO bombing campaigns in Bosnia and Kosovo played a vital role in stopping Serb-directed aggression, and thus resolving the conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGibbs challenges this view, offering an extended critique of Samantha Power's Pulitzer Prize-winning book A Problem from Hell: America in the Age of Genocide. He shows that intervention contributed to the initial breakup of Yugoslavia, and then helped spread the violence and destruction. Gibbs also explains how the motives for U.S. intervention were rooted in its struggle for continued hegemony in Europe.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vanderbilt University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017685680368,"sku":"9780826516442","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780826516442","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
