Description: "By taking an evolutionary approach, this book enthusiastically rejuvenates the innate human defensive instinct by integrating it with modern international law of self-defense. It also meticulously offers true understandings and a legal framework of the right to self-defense, and anticipatory self-defense, while astutely simplifying the conception of amred conflicts within the scope of Article 51 of the UN Charter."--
