Reviews

...Lawrence Freedman has assembled an impressive collection of views on concepts and cases of strategic coercion...the case studies in Freedman's excellent collection should be required reading in the corridors of power of the United Nations, Nato and those nations who claim a special responsibility for peace in the wider world. - Tim Garden. Times Higher Education Supplement. 14/8/1998
`significant work ... This is a most useful and stimulating work and should be read both by analysts and practitioners of strategic coercion. It provides real insights into the potential and difficulties of the art, and from the events of this year needs a wider audience.'
Dr Eric Grove, RUSI Journal December 1999
