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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Totten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300124481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300124484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.62h x 6.32w x 0.81d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Totten","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44254716199167,"sku":"9780300124484","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57015183-9be5-41fb-86e5-0783e2e74f12.jpg?v=1694613961","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/first-strike-mark-totten-9780300124484","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
