Military Perspectives on Humanitarian Intervention and Military-Media Relations

Bernard E. Trainor · first published 1995 · ISBN 9780877256090

Based on the Chester W. Nimitz Memorial Lectures on National Security Affairs, this collection presents Trainor's thinking on when and how militaries should engage in humanitarian operations. The work examines the relationship between armed forces and media during military operations, addressing how information flows, how narratives develop, and how military professionals interact with journalists. Trainor brings his dual experience as a military officer and news correspondent to these theoretical and practical questions.
