Ever since, it has been argued that a small military intervention could have prevented most of the killing. In The Limits of Humanitarian Intervention, Alan J. Kuperman exposes such conventional wisdom as myth. Combining unprecedented analyses of the genocide's progression and the logistical limitations of humanitarian military intervention, Kuperman reaches a startling conclusion: even if Western leaders had ordered an intervention as soon as they became aware of a nationwide genocide in Rwanda, the intervention forces would have arrived too late to save more than a quarter of the 500,000 Tutsi ultimately killed. Serving as a cautionary message about the limits of humanitarian intervention, the book's concluding chapters address lessons for the future. 606 $aGenocide$zRwanda$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTutsi (African people)$xCrimes against$zRwanda$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHutu (African people)$zRwanda$xPolitics and government$y20th century 606 $aHumanitarian intervention$zRwanda$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aRwanda$xHistory$yCivil War, 1994$xAtrocities 607 $aRwanda$xEthnic relations 615 0$aGenocide$xHistory 615 0$aTutsi (African people)$xCrimes against$xHistory 615 0$aHutu (African people)$xPolitics and government 615 0$aHumanitarian intervention$xHistory 676 $a967.57104 700 $aKuperman$b Alan J$0475951 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810207803321 996 $aThe limits of humanitarian intervention$94200229 997 $aUNINA
