The articles in this compendium, related to India's contribution to UN Peacekeeping, are reproduced as were originally published in the past issues of the USI Journal and other USI publications. They shed light on a variety of topics pertaining to the evolution and expansion of India's contribution to UNPKO over the span of 60 years. Book has reflections of authors on UN peacekeeping missions in Korea, Congo, Yugoslavia, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia and Eritrea, and Sudan, but most valuable are compilation of talks by Mr Kofi Annan, the then UN Secretary General, and Mr Lakhdar Brahimi, former Foreign Minister, Algeria and head of Brahimi Panel Report, delivered at the USI of India in 2001. These articles reflect the opinions of the authors at the age and time that they lived and not that of either the editor or the USI. Major General PK Goswami, VSM (Retd) was commissioned into Regiment of Artillery (Air Defence Branch), Indian Army, on 11 June 1977. Besides holding commanded and staff appointments, he was deputed as Military Observer with United Nations Verification Mission at Angola.
