This book is indispensable reading for anyone seeking to grasp the rights and wrongs of contemporary world politics. Richard Falk, Professor Emeritus in International Law, Princeton University In this substantial but eminently readable book, Aleksandar Jokic deconstructs traditional notions of just-war theory and transitional justice. He challenges the propriety, morality, and effectiveness of international economic sanctions as a tool of foreign policy, and he provocatively but persuasively argues that under the guise of humanitarian intervention in Yugoslavia and responsibility to protect in Libya, the United States aimed to decriminalize aggressive war. This work masterfully combines theoretical analysis with applications to make an important contribution to the literature on international justice. Marjorie Cohn, Professor Emerita, Thomas Jefferson School of Law In an age of manufactured reality and pseudo-journalism, Jokics eagle-eyed revisiting of events in the former Yugoslavia gives us a much-needed model of how to resist manipulations serving the cause of war, world domination, and injustice. Jokics deep respect for genuine factual and historical understanding is infectious. His sardonic assessment of the moral tragedy engendered by myth-making should embarrass many, while his acerbic wit will capture and sustain readers attention. This is a book to treasure. Randal Marlin, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Carleton University
