Subject(s): Summary: Detailed account of the UN's peace operations in Sierra Leone which went from near disaster in 2000 to being a model of good practice by the end of 2005. The opening chapter provides a short history which explains the years of corrupt rule that made war almost inevitable in Sierra Leone, while the rest of the book explains how the UN mission was set up and then adapted to meet the challenges. Timely input from UK was also significant although there was a tendency in British media to overdo the effect at the expense of the UN. Includes chronology, full text of the Lome Agreement and some UN Resolutions, a list of UN documents, bibliography, index.
