Military forces are now confronted, not only with the non-conventional threats of terrorism but the moral dilemmas of humanitarianism, intervention and human rights. Gwyn Prins explores these conflicting impulses using a variety of fascinating examples: the September 11th attacks and the history of 'spectacular' terrorism, humanitarian intervention in Bosnia, Kosovo, West Africa and elsewhere, the extradition of General Pinochet for human rights abuses and the nuclear issue, in the light of ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan. Wide-ranging and challenging, this book will interest all those seeking to understand the enormous recent changes in military strategy and global politics.

The consequences of the massive environmental destruction affecting large areas of the globe could threaten the security of every country on earth. Following the Cold War, politicians and military planners are turning to a range of unprecedented problems such as struggles for resources, cross-border pollution, the poisoning of the atmosphere and the seas and the threat of huge numbers of environmental refugees. "Top Guns and Toxic Whales" describes what is meant by security and the new threats to it, showing how impotent the existing commitments and mechanisms are. They examine the chilling consequences of those in power doing nothing and then set out the possibilities available to government and industry for averting catastrophes. These include using military personnel and hardware in the service of economical preservation and establishing an international "Green Police Force" with military powers.
