Whether the International Criminal Court is seen as a necessary, inevitable instrument for justice and peace in our world, or a cleverly designed mechansim for the destruction of national sovereignty—especially the sovereignty of the United States—this book needs to be read by political and military leaders alike. Future military operations will increasingly involve coalitions, non-governmental agencies, non-national armed forces, and international structures. As a result, our future national military strategy will be confronted increasingly with theoretical and practical issues of national sovereignty vs. international governance. The creation of the ICC brings these issues into sharp focus. America's political and military leaders need to explore in detail how an international entity such as the ICC might impact on our legitimate national interests. This book will help.
