East-West Rivalry in the Third World: Security Issues and Regional Perspectives

Wilmington, DE, Scholarly Resources Inc, 1986. Hardcover. Brown cloth boards with gilt spine lettering; tan dj with burgundy lettering; mylar cover; xxv, 348 pp. "The 15 papers in (this volume), presented at the 1984 conference of the Lyman L. Lemnitzer Center for NATO Studies at Kent State University, provide an overview of U.S.-Soviet competition in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. The contributors examine how this rivalry affects the security of Third World states and how involvement in these states affects the superpowers and their alliances. They also focus on the regional reactions in the Third World to East-West confrontation in general and to particular alliance policies. With the Third World's potential for instability reminiscent of the Balkans before 1914, the issues addressed in these essays deserve greater attention from both policymakers and the informed public."- dj Includes bibliographical references and index.

Holmes, Robert L.

On War and Morality

Princeton, N.J. Princeton University Press, 1989. Hardcover. Black cloth boards with silver spine lettering; black and light blue dj with white lettering, mylar cover; xiii, 310 pp. " The threat to the survival of humankind posed by nuclear weapons has been a frightening and essential focus of public debate for the last four decades and must continue to be so if we are to avoid destroying ourselves and the natural world around us. One unfortunate result of preoccupation with the nuclear threat, however, has been a new kind of "respectability" accorded to conventional war. In this radical and cogent argument for pacifism, Robert Holmes asserts that all war--not just nuclear war--has become morally impermissible in the modern world. Addressing a wide audience of informed and concerned readers, he raises dramatic questions about the concepts of "political realism" and nuclear deterrence, makes a number of persuasive suggestions for nonviolent alternatives to war, and presents a rich panorama of thinking about war from St. Augustine to Reinhold Niebuhr and Herman Kahn. Holmes's positions are compellingly presented and will provoke discussion both among convinced pacifists and among those whom he calls "militarists." "Militarists," we realize after reading this book, include the majority of us who live a friendly and peaceful personal life while supporting a system which, if Holmes is correct, guarantees war and risks eventual human extinction."- dust jacket. Contents: Violence and the perspective of morality -- Political realism -- Reason of state, military necessity, and domestic security -- St. Augustine on the justification of war -- Can war be morally justified? -- Killing of innocent persons in wartime -- Nuclear deterrence -- Alternative to war.
