Swords And Ploughshares: Bringing Peace to the 21st Century (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2007) by Paddy Ashdown
Paddy Ashdown fears we will soon see major wars between nation states. Many will begin as minor conflicts that will expand into full-scale wars unless the international community intervenes. From his perspective as a former Royal Marine officer in the 1960s to the High Representative in Bosnia from 2002-6, Lord Ashdown is uniquely qualified to investigate the successes and failures of peace-keeping operations, to reveal what lessons have been learned and what lessons keep being forgotten.
