About the Book

The imminence requirement for preemption can make all the moral difference in deciding to launch a lethal strike. Influenced by Michael Walzer's just war criteria for preemption, I provide three necessary conditions to strike first in self-defense. A commander must justifiably believe three things: that an unjust aggressor is poised to attack, that her capacity to avert an attack is constrained by an imminent decision point or last window of opportunity, and that preemption is part of a moral-risk proportionate strategy. In any event, a commander must decide to preempt or not preempt under conditions of uncertainty. Imminence must be seen as a necessary requirement for preemption, which is the term normative theorists use when an unjust aggressor poses an imminent threat of attack, and a defender strikes first in self-defense. Insofar as a defender foresees an imminent threat and need not await her fate before taking action, preemption can be just. If preemption is just-if pre-strike conditions underwrite the other requirements of just war action (liability, necessity, and proportionality) - then a defender would not morally wrong an aggressor by striking first. Regrettably, outside of normative theory, when the conditions did not warrant a preemptive strike, past invocations of the term preemption have compromised our nomenclature. Since at least the time of the 2003 U.S. war in Iraq, preemption has suffered from a conceptual hangover. Due to wanton abuse by national leaders who eschewed a false narrative to justify war, preemption roiled in a dive bar of fear, conceptual conflation, and a consort of connotation. I.
