Operation Restore Hope: US Military Intervention in Somalia and the Battle of Mo
The end of the Cold War introduced an altered global dynamic. The old bond of East/West patronage in Africa was broken, weakening the first crop of independent revolutionary leadership on the continent who no longer had the support of one or other of the superpowers. With collaps...e of the Soviet Union, all this changed. The question of global/strategic security devolved into regional peacekeeping and peace enforcement, characterised primarily by the Balkans War, but also many other minor regional squabbles across the developing world that erupted as old regimes fell and nations sought to build unity out of the ashes. In Africa the situation was exacerbated by an inherent tribalism and factionalism that had tended to be artificially suppressed by powerful, often military, dictatorships, generally unconcerned with the needs and requirements of an oppressed population. No more striking example of this can be found than Somalia. One of the only effective armed resistance movements mounted against European colonisation in Africa took place in Somalia, which was suppressed only after enormous military expenditure. The crisis in Somalia that began to take shape with the ouster of military leader Mohammed Siad Barre during the early years of the 1990s forced both the United States and the United Nations to adapt their collective military policy toward the challenges of peacekeeping, and peace enforcement, in a human environment only dimly understood, extremely austere in terms of local infrastructure and with a warring clan leadership. This book tells the story of the international intervention that took place in Somalia, the successes, failures and lessons learned. Many broad assumptions were made based on an unclear understanding of the dynamics of a regional conflict, coupled with the necessity for the first time in modern military history

Worth it - just buy it!
Color: Matte Black
After a month experimenting with my new Breville Barista Express, I finally decided that a few of the basic accessories actually would make a difference in my coffee, so I got this as well as a distributor tool, and there is a noticeable difference. I consistently get excellent extractions, where before, I would occasionally get a shot that clearly was not distributed and tamped properly. The price for these tools was combined, less than $30 and most definitely worth it!

Great to use, little difficult to put away
Color: Matte Black
It's a perfect wdt tool and works wonderfully for it's entended purpose. Great weight to it and the base, however the base to store it is very slim, making it difficult to replace once done.

Good
Color: Matte Black
This is used nearly daily, it’s been about a month, and I haven’t noticed the needles falling out. I didn’t research if these needles were the right size for perfectly distributed coffee, but it breaks up my clumps very easily and efficiently. I made a lot of changes for my new espresso machine that have improved my coffee, and I would guess this would definitely be one of them. If you buy a WDT tool, I did my research and I can’t complain about this one that I bought. It even came with replacement needles. Would buy again. It feels nice, and I even wipe the needles after each use with a wet and then dry towel, and they still stay in place. You can bend them if you want them angled or straight.

Wish I had one before
Color: Matte Black
Nice little tool. I never used one before and it does make a difference when evenly distributing the grounds and taking any clumps out. Would recommend.
