Ably and knowledgeably written by Henryk J. Sokalski (the special representative of the UN secretary-general who led the UN Preventive Deployment Force in Macedonia), An Ounce Of Prevention: Macedonia And The UN Experience In Preventive Diplomacy is a firsthand account of the complex task of peacekeeping during the course of the only peaceful succession from the former Yugoslavia. A closely researched and candidly told narrative of complex ethnic group interplays, An Ounce Of Prevention is thought provoking, and a strongly recommended addition to academic International Studies and supplemental reading lists.
