Description of world politics and international relations prior to the war; Analysis of the war and how assumptions made by the United States turned out to be wrong; How scarcity of public utilities can have a substantial effect on the ability of health workers to provide necessary health services; Conclusion that the armed forces should be prevented from dominating humanitarian assistance as much as possible and should leave this task to agencies that have traditionally handled such crises. |
