Book Synopsis
This book explores the practices of deterrence, and how attachment to this strategy may increase the likelihood of future violence. It provides a fresh perspective on the US war in Iraq (2003) and the Israeli war in Lebanon (2006), which can be seen as attempts to repair each country's shaken sense of self.
