  abstract: This book boldly challenges conventional wisdom about the value of preventive war, beginning with the rise of Hitler's Germany through the disastrous invasion of Iraq. Silverstone argues that the Rhineland crisis leading up to World War II presents a critical case for studying power shifts among states, and the preventive war temptation that results.
  table of contents: The false promise of lost opportunities -- Another fait accompli -- The preventive war temptation meets the preventive war paradox -- Haunted by the preventive war paradox -- The roots of a bitter peace -- The Ruhr war -- Sowing dragons teeth -- No heroes, no goats -- Searching for a silver bullet.
