Defending Humanity

When Force Is Justified and Why

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Defending Humanity, the authors tackle one of the most important and controversial questions of our time: When is war justified? When a nation is attacked, few would deny that it has the right to respond with force. But what about preemptive and preventive wars, or crossing another state's border to stop genocide?
