"a Problem from Hell": America and the Age of GenocideIn 1993, as a 23 year old correspondent covering the wars in the Balkans, I was initially comforted by the roar of NATO planes flying overhead.

In 1993, as a 23-year-old correspondent covering the wars in the Balkans, I was initially comforted by the roar of NATO planes flying overhead. President Clinton and other western leaders had sent the planes to monitor the Bosnian war, which had killed almost 200,000 civilians. But it soon became clear that NATO was unwilling to target those engaged in brutal "ethnic cleansing." American statesmen described Bosnia as "a problem from hell," and for three and a half years refused to invest the diplomatic and military capital needed to stop the murder of innocents. In Rwanda, around the same time, some 800,000 Tutsi and opposition Hutu were exterminated in the swiftest killing spree of the twentieth century. Again, the United States failed to intervene. This time U.S. policy-makers avoided labeling events "genocide" and spearheaded the withdrawal of UN peacekeepers stationed in Rwanda who might have stopped the massacres underway. Whatever America's commitment to Holocaust remembrance (embodied in the presence of the Holocaust Museum on the Mall in Washington, D.C.), the United States has never intervened to stop genocide. This book is an effort to understand why. While the history of America's response to genocide is not an uplifting one, "A Problem from Hell" tells the stories of countless Americans who took seriously the slogan of "never again" and tried to secure American intervention. Only by understanding the reasons for their small successes and colossal failures can we understand what we as a country, and we as citizens, could have done to stop the most savage crimes of the last century.Binding Type: Paperback

Gorgeous shelf
Color: 1set, Size: 16inch, Color: 1set, Size: 16inch
Gorgeous shelf! I know it’s not real wood but you can’t tell the difference and the price is right! Pipes are beautiful too! My dad put this up and had a little trouble aligning it up with the holes so make sure you have um right before you start drilling them.

Not REAL wood - particle board with veneer - but still beautiful.
Color: 1set, Size: 24inch, Color: 1set, Size: 24inch
Came on time, easy to assemble, relatively easy to install. Metal rods are actually metal, which is nice. Flanges are good quality, very nice rustic look.
Shelves are less wonderful. They are definitely not real wood at all. They are cheap particle board with veneer. I would not have purchased had I read more reviews, BUT it is still beautiful, sturdy and does the trick. We can always cut our own shelves if we should so choose and re-use the very nice hardware.
4/5 for misrepresenting as real wood, but 5/5 for functionality and aesthetic.
