Bush And Gulf War II A Study in Presidential Leadership

Bush and Gulf War II: A Study in Presidential Leadership is an insightful and thorough analysis on the debate of presidential use of force in American and international politics. Within the context of the raging debate over the legality of Gulf War II, understanding the law and procedures for the use of force in international relations is imperative. In this book, Dr. Moki embarks on a journey to educate against a pervasive misconception that Gulf War II was an illegal war fueled by imperialistic and warmongering tendencies. Using historical analysis, he traces the origin of the war and assesses that Iraq’s attack on Kuwait in 1990 constituted a blatant violation of international law. Using the force resolutions and enforcement measures of the United Nations Charter as a backdrop, Dr. Moki documents Iraq’s culpability repeatedly within a 12-year span. On the contrary, he finds little evidence to support the allegation that the war was illegal and that President Bush engaged in a unilateralist approach to initiate war.Moki, Samuel Belsham is the author of 'Bush And Gulf War II A Study in Presidential Leadership', published 2006 under ISBN 9781413796766 and ISBN 1413796761.
