In "Peace at any Price", Iain King and Whit Mason describe why, despite an unprecedented commitment of resources, the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), supported militarily by NATO, failed to achieve its goals. Their in-depth account is personal and passionate yet analytical and tightly argued. Both authors served with UNMIK and believe that the international community has a duty to intervene in regional conflicts, but they suggest that Kosovo reveals the difficult challenges inherent in such interventions. They also identify avoidable mistakes made at nearly every juncture by the UN and NATO. We can be sure that the international community will be called on to intervene again to restore the peace of shattered countries. The lessons of Kosovo, cogently presented in "Peace at any Price", will be critically important to those charged with future missions.
Iain King is director of programmes at the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. Whit Mason has worked in Pristina for the International Crisis Group before joining UNMIK as a speechwriter and public affairs strategist
