A Savage Order: How the World`s Deadliest Countries Can Forge a Path to Security, Kleinfeld Rachel

Taking on existing literature and popular theories about war, crime, and foreign intervention, A Savage Order is a blistering yet inspiring investigation into what makes some countries peaceful and others war zones, and a blueprint for what we can do to help. Drawing on fifteen years of study and firsthand field research--interviewing generals, former guerrillas, activists, politicians, and law enforcement in countries around the world--Rachel Kleinfeld tells the stories of societies, including our own, that successfully fought seemingly ingrained violence and offers penetrating conclusions about what must be done to build governments that are able to protect the lives of their citizens.
