Preemption

Informationen zum Autor Leading criminal law and constitutional scholar Alan M. Dershowitz is the author of such critically acclaimed books as Rights from Wrongs , The Case for Israel , and Why Terrorism Works . A professor at Harvard Law School, he lives in Massachusetts. Klappentext In Preemption one of our nation's foremost legal scholars puts forward a controversial new theory on crime and punishment in the postmodern world. Using the American government's 2003 invasion of Iraq as a starting point, Alan M. Dershowitz tracks our society's increasing reliance on preemptive action. In Preemption, which Judge Richard Posner of the U.S. Court of Appeals calls "lucid, sober, courageous, and historically informed," Dershowitz has brought together all of his diverse and considerable talents and experiences to confront the idea of preemptive action as it applies to some of our most urgent political and moral dilemmas. Zusammenfassung "A path-breaking must-read for government leaders! strategists! and all concerned Americans."-General Wesley K. Clark
