{"product_id":"9781565492608","title":"Humanitarianism Under Fire: The US and UN Intervention in Somalia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe international humanitarian intervention in Somalia was one of the most challenging operations ever conducted by US and UN military forces. Until Somalia, the UN had never run a Chapter VII exercise with large numbers of troops operating under a fighting mandate. It became a deadly test of the UN’s ability carry out a peace operation using force against an adversary determined to sabotage the intervention. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHumanitarianism Under Fire\u003c\/i\u003e is a candid, detailed historical and political narrative of this remarkably complicated intervention that was one of the first cases of multilateral action in the post-Cold War era. Rutherford presents new information gleaned from interviews and intensive research in five countries. His evidence shows how Somalia became a turning point in the relationship between the UN and US and how policy and strategy decisions in military operations continue to refer back to this singular event, even today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumarian Press, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017791488240,"sku":"9781565492608","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781565492608_p0.jpg?v=1763789347","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781565492608","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
