Review # 1 was written on 2017-11-13 00:00:00 Diane Haslett Set of essay dealing with the implementation of training mandated by UNSCR 1325 and 1820, from the development stage as a partnership between the US and Canada, then field tested in East Timor, Eritrea and Ethiopia with Peacekeeping troops, local people and bureaucratic leadership. It won't surprise anyone that properly-trained trainers, proper mixes of students and adaptability to begin with the level of knowledge possessed by the students is crucial to success.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-04 00:00:00 Michael Uhlman This is one that I received through NetGalley and it was a digital ARC. I had a few issues with following the storyline and I think that may have been due to poor editing or a faulty transfer to digital. All that aside, I found this to be a very interesting book! I enjoyed reading about the interviews conducted, the newspaper articles, and learning more about how WWII is viewed in Germany. I understand people not wanting to be associated with atrocities. Sadly, it is human nature. I was disturbed that so many did not want the truth to be uncovered. I would rather awful truths be told so that the same crimes would not be repeated. This is a definite recommendation for anyone interested in WWII and peoples actions and reactions during and after the war.
