Book Synopsis

"Perilous Interventions" by Hardeep Singh Puri is a thought-provoking exploration of the politics and consequences of military interventions. With a rigorous analysis, Puri exposes the flawed strategies and underlying motivations behind the interventions carried out by powerful nations.

Through a series of case studies, Puri reveals the devastating impact these interventions have on the countries they target. Drawing on his extensive experience as a diplomat, he offers valuable insights into the decision-making processes that shape these interventions and the complex dynamics at play.

Puri argues that interventions, often justified as acts of humanitarianism or the pursuit of national security, often lead to unintended consequences and destabilize the very regions they seek to protect. He explores the tension between the responsibility to protect and the principles of sovereignty, raising important questions about the legitimacy and effectiveness of these endeavors.

In a world grappling with ongoing conflicts and the rise of new powers, "Perilous Interventions" serves as a vital guide for policymakers, activists, and general readers alike. Puri's clear and concise writing style, backed by rigorous research, makes this book an essential resource for understanding the complexities and dangers of military interventions in an ever-changing global landscape.
