War and Intervention explains how armed forces, aid agencies, and transitional adminsitrations in war-affected countries have adapted to the changing circumstances of modern war and conflict. It uses a broad range of cases to introduce the reader to the dynamics on the ground.

Bhatia's analysis becomes all the more important at a time when the debate continues about the United States's global position, the UN's role, and current and proposed interventions in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Iraq.
