Recenzje

'The Ethics of Preventive War brings together several perceptive commentators on international law, normative theory and politics, in a generally quite illuminating volume of essays … The essays by this group of seasoned commentators will undoubtedly be of considerable value to those working on issues of war and contemporary international politics and law.'
