Over the last twenty years there has been growing support among some of the world's most powerful nations ( USA, Russia, France and others) for the concept of taking military action to preempt an attack that has not yet taken place, indeed may not even be imminent. This book considers the ethical and moral issues posed by such a departure from accepted norms of international behaviour, and suggests among other things that the United States should take a lead in re-energising the United Nations and supporting its role in international security.
