Selling a 'Just' War: Framing, Legitimacy, and Us Military Intervention

By Michael J. Butler

Book Overview

Butler sheds light on how American political leaders sell the decision to intervene with military force to the public and how a just war frame is employed in US foreign policy. He provides three post-Cold War examples of foreign policy crises: the Persian Gulf War (1990-91), Kosovo (1999), and Afghanistan (2001).
