"This edition includes new material on recent events including the Iran/Contra affair and the invasion of Grenada and on the current situation in Nicaragua, the Persian Gulf, and El Salvador. Since the end of World War II, covert war has become the primary means of violence between cold war adversaries. While nuclear weapons have made all-out war unacceptable, ideological differences have fueled a ferocious struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. Covert action—from intelligence-gathering to secret and unauthorized war—has become the characteristic form of violence between nations. The second edition contains new chapters on covert war and the relationship between law and the control of violence. Each chapter has been revised to include analyses of every act of war through the Reagan years.Named an Outstanding Academic Book of 1986-87 by Choice"An important book that I wish every member of Congress and would-be president would carefully study."—George McGovern
