521			_aAuthor Bass shows that there is an international tradition, reaching back more than two hundred years, of humanitarian intervention--confronting the suffering of innocent foreigners. Bass describes the political and cultural landscapes out of which these activists arose, as an emergent free press exposed Europeans and Americans to atrocities taking place beyond their shores and galvanized them to act. He brings alive a century of passionate advocacy in Britain, France, Russia, and the United States. He tells the stories of the activists themselves: Byron, Bentham, Madison, Gladstone, Dostoevsky, and Theodore Roosevelt among them. Bass also demonstrates that even in the imperialistic late nineteenth century, humanitarian ideals could play a significant role in shaping world politics, and argues that the failure of today's leading democracies to shoulder such responsibilities has led to catastrophes such as those in Rwanda and Darfur--catastrophes that he maintains are neither inevitable nor traditional.--From publisher description. _bIntroduction -- Humanitarianism or imperialism? -- Media and solidarity -- The diplomacy of humanitarian intervention -- Greeks -- The Greek revolution -- The Scio massacre -- The London Greek committee -- America and the Greeks -- Lord Byron's war -- Canning -- The Holy alliance -- A rumor of slaughter -- Navarino -- Syrians -- France under the second empire -- The massacres -- Public opinion -- Occupying Syria -- Mission creep -- Bulgarians -- The Eastern question -- Pan-slavism -- Bosnia and Serbia -- Bulgarian horrors -- The Russo-Turkish war -- The Midlothian campaign -- Conclusion -- Armenians -- The uses of history -- The international politics of humanitarian intervention -- The domestic politics of humanitarian intervention -- A new imperialism?.
