What is The limits of humanitarian intervention : genocide in Rwanda about?

<p>In 1994 genocide in Rwanda claimed the lives of at least 500,000 Tutsi —some three-quarters of their population —while UN peacekeepers were withdrawn and the rest of the world stood aside. Ever since, it has been argued that a small military intervention could have prevented most of the killing. In The Limits of Humanitarian Intervention, Alan J. Kuperman exposes such conventional wisdom as myth.</p> <p>Combining unprecedented analyses of the genocide's progression and the logistical limitations of humanitarian military intervention, Kuperman reaches a startling conclusion: even if Western leaders had ordered an intervention as soon as they became aware of a nationwide genocide in Rwanda, the intervention forces would have arrived too late to save more than a quarter of the 500,000 Tutsi ultimately killed.</p> <p>Serving as a cautionary message about the limits of humanitarian intervention, the book's concluding chapters address lessons for the future.</p>
