Book excerpt: While waging war is almost as old as humanity, peacekeeping is recent but expanding rapidly. Over the past few decades, dozens of operations have been launched-many of them still effective-and more are on the way. Their existence is crucial, yet the general public knows relatively little about them. The A to Z of Multinational Peacekeeping is designed to help fill this gap. Based on the updated and revised edition of Historical Dictionary of Multinational Peacekeeping, it consists of an introduction, chronology, list of acronyms, bibliography, and dictionary. The dictionary includes several hundred entries on the peacekeeping bodies, organizations that established them, important persons involved, countries in which they were deployed, and main contributing countries. Such information provides the background and depth lacking in current media reporting. Book jacket.
