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.
