Violence has been eclipsed as a tool of statesmen. This astonishing reversal is the subject of James Sheehan's masterly book. It is also a timely reminder of the differences between Europe and America, at a time when the USA is asserting its right and duty to make war for ideological or self-interested ends. And how Europeans will live in this dangerous, violent world is a question that becomes ever more urgent as the chaos in the Middle East affects the stability of societies with open frontiers and liberal traditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content hb-content-book-detail\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hb-content-text hb-content-text-book-detail\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-tools\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"checkout-tools\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"price-info-wrap\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Secret Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32213527396422,"sku":"1915","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/8921\/4278\/products\/TheMonopolyofViolenceWhyEuropeansHateGoingtoWar_JamesSheehan.jpg?v=1605902065","url":"https:\/\/www.thesecretbookstore.live\/products\/the-monopoly-of-violence-why-europeans-hate-going-to-war-james-sheehan","provider":"The Secret Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
