Volume 3 of the official history of Australian peacekeeping, humanitarian and post-cold war operations explores Australia's involvement in six missions following the end of the Gulf War. These missions reflected increasing complexity of peacekeeping, as it overlapped with enforcement of sanctions, weapons inspections, humanitarian aid, election monitoring and peace enforcement.

This is the first comprehensive and official study of Australia's role in the peace enforcement operations that developed at the end of the Cold War. It recounts vital missions to Namibia, Iran and Pakistan/Afghanistan, but focuses primarily on Australia's reaction to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
