This article introduces the book The Heart of War. The book provides a penetrating look at the changing face of war and the role of the military in the twenty-first century. This book explores these different impulses through a variety of examples: the September 11th attacks, humanitarian intervention in Bosnia, Kosovo, West Africa and elsewhere; the extradition of General Pinochet for human rights abuses; and the nuclear issue. The deft and authoritative interweaving of disciplines also offers a model of how to get to grips with these difficult issues.
