Eve of Destruction

Description:

"Thomas M. Nichols uses historical analysis as well as interviews with defense officials from around the world to trace the anticipatory use of violence from the early 1990s - when the international community was faced with a series of humanitarian crises in Somalia, Bosnia, and Kosovo - to today's current and potential actions against rogue states and terrorists. He makes a case for a bold reform of U.S. foreign policy, and of the United Nations Security Council itself, in order to avert outright anarchy."--Jacket.
