WAR OF NECESSITY, WAR OF CHOICE: A MEMOIR OF TWO IRAQ WARS

摘要

In War of Necessity, War of Choice, Haass provides a close-up and compelling account of the decision-making processes that led to American participation in the two Gulf Wars. More importantly, he provides a useful framework for discussing U.S. engagement in armed conflict. Indeed, the phrases "war of necessity" and "war of choice" were recently invoked by our current commander-in-chief as he remarked on the war in Afghanistan.
