Making War to Keep Peace

With the powerful words that marked her long and distinguished career, Jeane J. Kirkpatrick explores where America has gone wrongand raises lingering questions about what perils tomorrow might hold. In Making War to Keep Peace, the former U.S. Ambassador to the UN traces the course of diplomatic initiatives and armed conflict in Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo to illuminate the dangerous shift from the first Bush administration's ambitious vision of a New World Order to the overambitious nation-building efforts of the Clinton administration. Kirkpatrick questions when, how, and why the United States should resort to military solutionsespecially in light of the George W. Bush administration's challenging war in Iraq, about which Kirkpatrick shares her ",grave reservations", for the first time.
