Professor Myres S. McDougal of the Yale Law School calls this examination of the relation of law and violence in contemporary international society "e;...a profound, perceptive, and eloquent contribution to the most important problem of our time."e; Professor Falk places great emphasis on two distinctive challenges to world order--nuclear weapons and civil strife. While developing the implication that even the most powerful states are vulnerable to destruction trhough nuclear attack, he also points out that there is no very firm hope that military power cna be managed so as to reduce the predominance of the sovereign state in world politics.
