In this timely book Mark Totten offers the first in-depth, historical examination of the use of preemptive and preventive force through the lens of the just war tradition.Although critical of the American incursion into Iraq as a so-called "preemptive war," Totten argues that the new terrorist threat nonetheless demands careful consideration of when the first use of force is legitimate. The moral tradition, he concludes, provides a principled way forward that reconciles American values and the demands of security. 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aJust war doctrine 606 $aWar$xMoral and ethical aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention$xGovernment policy 615 0$aJust war doctrine. 615 0$aWar$xMoral and ethical aspects 676 $a172/.42 700 $aTotten$b Mark$f1974-$01561435 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779240603321 996 $aFirst strike$93828139 997 $aUNINA
