This book is the first to discuss in detail the extensive external involvement in the Liberian civil war ? a war that claimed up to two hundred thousand lives, created a massive refugee crisis and brought West Africa to the tribunal of international attention. The book is conceived against the background that the international response to the conflict has features that are unprecedented in the management of civil conflicts in the post-cold war era.
