This book explores presidential justifications of every major
American military conflict from the War of 1812 to the Second Gulf
War. It generates two important findings. First, presidents employ
a specific standard (the Necessity Standard) publicly to justify
decisions to go to war, and privately to make decisions regarding
war and peace. The Necessity Standard holds that major military
force should be used if no viable alternatives are available to
protect vital interests or discharge duties. Second, when
addressing the Necessity Standard, presidents have disclosed
military and security policies that vary considerably in their
patience with alternatives and their definitions of vital interests
and duties. The book concludes by characterizing wars, categorizing
presidential policies, and outlining how the central position of
the Necessity Standard in the American politics of war and peace
might affect policymaking processes, conflict management, and the
public's perceptions of wars and foreign policy.
