Armed Force and Moderate Political Life

Essays on Politics and Defense, 1983-2008

Beschreibung

This book is a collection of eight essays on politics and defense written over the past quarter of a century. What particularly unifies them is the distinction between the military and police (or punitive) uses of force and implication of each for preservation of moderate political practices and skill in the use of armed force.
