\ BooknewsIncluding case studies on Zimbabwe, Chad, Somalia, Mozambique, Angola, Namibia, Liberia, Rwanda, and Burundi, 15 contributions aim to cover all the important aspects of peacekeeping. Material deals with the policies and actions of the international organizations concerned such as the UN and the OAU, the participating African states, and non- governmental organizations; the impact of sub-regional powers; and the role of the big powers (the U.S., Britain, and France) both where their interventions have been problematic because of blunders and/or self-interest and when they have been beneficial. The views of both outsiders and African states are taken into account. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.\ \
