I liked this book and learned a lot -- the case study of Georgia and South Ossetia is interesting and enlightening. I would have liked more broadly applicable information or instruction in the area of peacemaking.

An absolutely wonderful, progressive, and necessary read on the state of the art of the intersection of scholarly and applied peacemaking. This book is highly readable and applicable across a wide variety of peace practice and topics and can be easily valued by the scholar and practitioner alike. A must-read for those engaged in both worlds and a new mile marker in the approach to people-centered peacemaking, especially in the submission of the international to the local.
