Selling a 'Just' War [electronic resource] : Framing, Legitimacy, and US Military Intervention /
Butler, M.author.
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).
