A scholarly perspective of a soldier's own challenges working in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). This work examines how regional/cultural knowledge and language ability contribute to improved leadership in a UN operation, based on the author's own experiences as a staff officer in South Sudan.

ROBERT MUNSON is an active duty U.S. Air Force officer, who has served for almost 25 years on both active duty and as a reservist. He deployed to UNMISS to serve as the chief of planning on the peacekeeping operation's military staff. He received his PhD in history from Boston University. Over the years, he has taught at Boston University, USA, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, Germany, and Air University, USA. He is the author of The Nature of Christianity in Northern Tanzania (2013).
