Cappola Does it Again...Apr 23, 2012
By RMcCreight-GWU
Damon Cappola's Fourth Edition of his popular book on international crisis management includes case studies and useful updates on matters which college professors will find useful in transmitting the core elements of crisis management and the issued embedded therein for their students. Using a fairly comprehensive approach to a wide and complex array of subjects Capolla's book reflects the obvious and subtle dimensions of an inherently interdisciplinary and diplomatic jumble of coordination, planning, logistics, terrain and demographic assessment which iften characterize humanitarian interventions and the related set of problems in assessing any international crisis. While every such crisis has its political aspects, the book focuses on the context of international response, the UN role, the enormous challenges of establishing a coherent and effective command and control scheme and the actual execution of assistance in a failed or failing state. For students wishing to know more about the spectrum of issues involved this is a great introduction.

 college text bookJun 17, 2011

I purchased this book as the required reading material for an Emergency Planning class. The book covers current issues in EM and will be a valuable resource afterwards.

quick and easyMay 19, 2011
By rightmind
The book got to me about a week faster than originally forecasted and the book is very easy to read. While this is not my first book on emergency management it is a good book for those breaking into the field of emergency management.

Some concerns but not a bad intro textbookDec 10, 2011
By tac170
While I found this book valuable and was considering its use in a college class I'm teaching, I have a few reservations.
In early chapters, the authors tend to refer to various government programs well before they are explained much later in the book. This could add to confusion among people who are new to this field. You will also notice references to the NRP and NRF and they seem to mix the two terms despite the history of these program titles.
There also seems to be some curious resentment among the authors concerning the issue of terrorism and emergency management. At one point they refer to a "national preoccupation with the events of September 11th" and believe that a focus on terrorism was a significant factor in the poor response to Hurricane Katrina. Needless to say, I disagree. Katrina wasn't that simple and, like it or not, terrorism should continue to be a MAJOR concern for today's emergency managers.
