The first thing that should be said [about this book] is that it represents a remarkably coherent set of essays that bear all the hallmarks of tight and effective editorial control. It poses the central question of what role Europe can play in regional and global security and defence, and couches its analysis in terms of both military ability and the political willingness to use force.
