The Use of Force, long considered a classic in its own right,
brings together enduring, influential works on the role of military
power in foreign policy and international politics. Now in its
eighth edition, the reader has been significantly revised; with
twenty innovative and up-to-date selections, this edition is 60
percent new. Meticulously chosen and edited by leading scholars
Robert J. Art and Kelly M. Greenhill, the selections are grouped
under three headings: theories, case studies, and contemporary
issues. The first section includes essays that cover the security
dilemma, terrorism, the sources of military doctrine, the nuclear
revolution, and the fungibility of force. A new subsection of Part
I also deals with ethical issues in the use of force. The second
section includes case studies in the use of force that span the
period from World War I through the war in Afghanistan. The final
section considers issues concerning the projection of US military
power; the rising power of China; the spread of biological and
nuclear weapons and cyberwarfare; intervention in internal
conflicts and insurgencies; and possible future developments in
terrorism, nuclear abolition, and robotic warfare. Continuing the
tradition of previous editions, this fully updated reader collects
the best analysis by influential thinkers on the use of force in
international affairs. Contributions by: Bruce J. Allyn, Kenneth
