Blair's successful war

"This volume sets out to examine the British military operation of Sierra Leone that began in May 2000 and which still involves a commitment of British forces via the British-led International Military Advisory and Training Team (IMATT) which supports the government of Sierra Leone ... The first chapter examines the Blair legacy and the development of an interventionalist policy which led to Operation Palliser, the initial deployment to Sierra Leone, and which ultimately would also lead to the British involvement in Afghanistan in 2001, re-engagement in 2006 and the Iraq War in 2003"--Page 4.
