“Swanee
Hunt has written an intelligent, insightful, and highly readable account
of the Bosnia conflict and America’s response to it. She brings to her
analysis the passion appropriate to a firsthand account, together with
a critical and sophisticated appreciation for the larger political context.
Those interested in lessons important to future policy will not be disappointed.
The book is an important addition to the literature on Bosnia, and on the
continuing debate over appropriate circumstances for military intervention
for humanitarian purposes.”

“The
slaughter in Bosnia in the 1990s still haunts policymakers everywhere.
With Worlds Apart, Swanee Hunt brings us all into the room alongside the
decision-makers at the center of an international crisis, and simultaneously
draws important lessons from those events for the resolution of future
conflicts. It’s a compelling read for anyone motivated to learn those larger
lessons from a tragedy that tested the will of the free world.”

“Ambassador
Hunt has given us a bold, firsthand, outspoken book. It comes as close
as we’ve gotten to answering the wherefores of Bosnia’s stark violence.
Her juxtaposition of inside realities and outside misconceptions is convincing
support for the broader lessons she offers us.”
