| Summary, etc. | Preemptive war is said to be morally acceptable as it is in effect a defensive act intended to prevent an otherwise imminent act of aggression by the enemy. This is in contrast to preventive war. In rerality the boundareis are far from clear. This book looks at ten examples of first strike from Napolean's attacks on Austria and Russia in 1805 to China's intervention in North Korea in 1952 and the United States war in Iraq 2003. |
