| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Author Bass shows that there is an international tradition, reaching back more than two hundred years, of humanitarian intervention--confro nting the suffering of innocent foreigners. Bass describes the politica l and cultural landscapes out of which these activists arose, as an eme rgent free press exposed Europeans and Americans to atrocities taking p lace beyond their shores and galvanized them to act. He brings alive a century of passionate advocacy in Britain, France, Russia, and the Unit ed States. He tells the stories of the activists themselves: Byron, Ben tham, Madison, Gladstone, Dostoevsky, and Theodore Roosevelt among them . Bass also demonstrates that even in the imperialistic late nineteenth century, humanitarian ideals could play a significant role in shaping world politics, and argues that the failure of today's leading democrac ies to shoulder such responsibilities has led to catastrophes such as t hose in Rwanda and Darfur--catastrophes that he maintains are neither i nevitable nor traditional.--From publisher description. |
