This book responds to the Bush Administration position on the war on terror. It examines preemption within the context of just war ; justification for the United States-led invasion of Iraq, with some authors charging that its tactics serve to increase terror; global terrorism; and concepts such as reconciliation, Islamic identity, nationalism, and intervention.
