I have not read this book, but it came up on my radar and I thought I would get the word out about it. Certainly this is a controversial subject, and hopefully it will spark some rational debate about the concept. Oh, and this won’t be shipping out until December, so you have some time to sell a kidney to buy this sucker. lol –Matt

Privatising Peace: A Corporate Adjunct to United Nations Peacekeeping and Humanitarian Operations
By Malcolm Hugh Patterson
Review
Malcolm Patterson has written an eminently readable and thought-provoking book that forces us to reconsider again our ideas about peacekeeping and whether, after the debacles in Somalia, Rwanda and the Congo, it is now time to consider privatising peacekeeping. Essential reading for anyone with an interest in understanding how the market might impact on peacekeeping operations. – Dr Christopher Kinsey, Defence Studies Department, King’s College London at the Joint Command and Staff College, Defence Academy of the UK
