The settlement of Namibia''s long running conflict remains one of the major successes of the United Nations. Over the course of one year, UN peacekeepers assisted the people of Namibia to gain their independence after years of oppressive South African rule. This book provides an in depth study of the conditions contributing to the UN''s success in Namibia and what these reveal about peacekeeping and peace enforcing in other countries.
