DESCRIPTION:At the Point of a Gun: Democratic Dreams and Armed Intervention, is a 
 series of essays arguing the incredible folly of imposing democracy and 
 staging humanitarian intervention with the barrel of an M-16. At a time 
 when there are nearly 150,000 United States troops in Iraq, Mr. Rieff (son 
 of the late Susan Sontag) raises insightful and timely questions about the 
 right to intervene militarily and discusses whether the country's moral 
 ambitions match the means or wisdom necessary for successful diplomacy in 
 foreign affairs. Focusing first on the conflicts in Kosovo and Bosnia, then 
 the Rwandan Genocide and post-colonial Africa, Mr. Rieff's field reports 
 draw a searing portrait of what happens when the plans of policymakers go 
 horribly wrong in the field, solidifying his argument against the armed 
 occupation of Iraq in the name of humanitarian causes.\n
