' ' Isiaka Badmus provides a thorough, detailed account of how the African Union became involved in peace support operations, and how those missions evolved. This book will become the standard reference on the AU' s seminal missions in Burundi, Somalia and Darfur, and how the AU has come to play an integral role in peacekeeping in Africa.
