A remarkably trenchant and well written legal analysis of
humanitarian military intervention, following the evolution of
international law and its present day ramifications in situations
such as Iraq's aggression toward Kuwait and Rwanda's internal
conflicts. US State Department attorney Murphy clearly highlights
the theoretical, legal, and moral implications of intervention
policy, reaching into the history of legal traditions to arrive at an
understanding of the present United Nations charter governing
international intervention policies.
