Description

Does the United States have the right to defend itself by striking first, or must it wait until an attack is in progress? Is the Bush Doctrine of aggressive preventive action a justified and legal recourse against threats posed by terrorists and rogue states? This book includes responses by political theorists Richard Tuck and Jeffrey McMahan.
