Professor Myres S. McDougal of the Yale Law School calls this
examination of the relation of law and violence in contemporary
international society "...a profound, perceptive, and eloquent
contribution to the most important problem of our time." Professor
Falk places great emphasis on two distinctive challenges to world
order--nuclear weapons and civil strife. While developing the
implication that even the most powerful states are vulnerable to
destruction trhough nuclear attack, he also points out that there
is no very firm hope that military power cna be managed so as to
reduce the predominance of the sovereign state in world politics.
