The Reluctant Superpower: United States' Policy in Bosnia, 1991-95

Rating:
Summary: Interesting summary of US policy, but misguided.
Review: Bert's book is a uniquely systematic work, focusing on American policy from hindsight and the perspective of "New World Order." It is a must-read for every political scientist and historian of the region. However, it abounds with misconceptions, simplifications and all too often overt ethnic preferences. Readers familiar with the region will find his terminology questionable, CNN-educated will find it confirming their views, and some actors in those events might be surprised that Bert mentions few names. On the other hand, it is good to see a book about this subject out there. Anything, however flawed, is better than nothing. Read with caution, but read nevertheless.
