Editorial Reviews

Bayley (Sch. of Criminal Justice, SUNY-Albany; Changing the Guard: Developing Democratic Police Abroad) and Perito (senior program officer, U.S. Inst. of Peace; Where Is the Lone Ranger When We Need Him?: America's Search for a Postconflict Security Force) examine the role of police and police training in stabilization programs in countries that have experienced acute humanitarian crises and severe internal conflicts. Although the book pays particular attention to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, its broader focus is on problems and issues that have troubled U.S.-led interventions in such countries as Somalia, Haiti, and the Balkans. The authors examine the U.S. military's evolving counterinsurgency doctrine, which seeks to develop workable stabilization missions by training effective local governmental institutions and their coercive police entities. Of course, police-training and stabilization missions date back to the failed Vietnam-era programs, but the current police-training programs of the U.S. military are more extensive than those that existed in the 1960s and 1970s and have now been woven into peace-building missions that follow U.S. military interventions in the developing world. VERDICT The book provides practical advice on how police-training missions should be organized and how they should provide for security of individual citizens in order to sustain their long-term legitimacy. Recommended for those with this specialized interest.—Nader Entessar, Univ. of South Alabama, Mobile
