Air power for warfighting is a story that's been told many times.
Air power for peacekeeping and UN enforcement is a story that
desperately needs to be told. For the first-time, this volume
covers the fascinating range of aerial peace functions. In rich
detail it describes: aircraft transporting vital supplies to UN
peacekeepers and massive amounts of humanitarian aid to
war-affected populations; aircraft serving as the "eyes in sky" to
keep watch for the world organization; and combat aircraft
enforcing the peace. Rich poignant case studies illuminate the past
and present use of UN air power, pointing the way for the future.
This book impressively fills the large gap in the current
literature on peace operations, on the United Nations and on air
power generally.
