Opis

Volume 3 of The Official History of Australian Peacekeeping, Humanitarian and Post-Cold War Operations explores Australia's involvement in six overseas missions following the end of the Gulf War: Cambodia (1991 99); Western Sahara (1991 94); the former Yugoslavia (1992 2004); Iraq (1991); Maritime Interception Force operations (1991 99); and the contribution to the inspection of weapons of mass destruction facilities in Iraq (1991 99). These missions reflected the increasing complexity of peacekeeping, as it overlapped with enforcement of sanctions, weapons inspections, humanitarian aid, election monitoring and peace enforcement. Granted full access to all relevant Australian Government records, David Horner and John Connor provide readers with a comprehensive and authoritative account of Australia's peacekeeping operations in Asia, Africa and Europe."
