Description
"Hoffman and Weiss trace the evolution of the international humanitarian system from its inception in the 1860s through the challenges of "new war" and non-state actors, including those of recent U.S. military action in Afghanistan and Iraq. By bringing historical perspective to bear on the mechanics of war and humanitarian action, Sword & Salve provides an analytical framework for grasping the nature of contemporary crises and how aid agencies can respond strategically rather than reactively."--Jacket.
