Since 1945, the European states which had previously glamorised
their military elites, and made going to war the highest expression
of patriotism, have renounced violence as a way of settling their
disputes. Violence has been eclipsed as a tool of statesmen. This
astonishing reversal is the subject of James Sheehan's masterly
book. It is also a timely reminder of the differences between
Europe and America, at a time when the USA is asserting its right
and duty to make war for ideological or self-interested ends. And
how Europeans will live in this dangerous, violent world is a
question that becomes ever more urgent as the chaos in the Middle
East affects the stability of societies with open frontiers and
liberal traditions.
