"This book is both an advocacy for better burden-sharing peacekeeping efforts and to take better into consideration military expertise. It is indeed high time that we reconcile political commitment with military efficiency."
- Dr Alexandra Novosseloff, Senior Researcher at the Centre Thucydide of the University 2, Paris
"Political Aspirations and Perils of Security provides a significant contribution to the study of
strategic art. It breaks new ground by examining UN peace operations from a military
strategic analytical context. The book's case study approach works well and sets up the
background for the final discussion of how the UN processes address the fundamentals of strategy [...]
This is a valuable work in gathering and synthesizing key thoughts and analysis on UN
peacekeeping operations and presenting them in a clear and coherent manner."
- Professor William J. Flavin, US Army War College, Carlisle, USA

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.

However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
