Book Synopsis
This study focuses on the questions of when and how military intervention in conflicts can achieve humanitarian benefits. It uses the standard that an intervention should do more good than harm to evaluate the successes and failures.

Trade Review
Seybolt presents a quantitative analysis drawing lessons from seventeen interventions...Seybolt's explanation of his methodology is impressive. * Aidan Hehir, Political Studies Review *
Review from previous edition Seybolt rejects the majority of abstract, philosphical literature on the subject, to focus on real problems, faced by real practitioners both in theatre and in the halls of power. Military intervention in the name of humanity will remain a central policy challenge in the near future, and Seybolt's work succeeds in providing valuable new insights for practitioners at both ends of the spectrum. [The] Interesting case studies are well researched and a pleasure to read.' * Matthew Taylor, consultant in NATO's Public Diplomacy Division *
