This thinker rejected the idea that total disarmament would lead to world peace by saying "for every neck there are two hands to choke it". This man's criticism of Offense-Defense Balance theory is that one cannot ex ante tell if a weapon's best use is for defense or offense. He first came to prominence with the book Conventional Deterrence before founding a school of thought that he termed "offensive", in opposition to scholars he labels "defensive" such as Jack Snyder, Barry Posen, and Kenneth Waltz. His most notable academic work is The Tragedy of Great Power Politics, but he is perhaps best known for a text co-authored with Stephen M. Walt that was critical of AIPAC. For ten points, name this neo-realist international relations theory scholar the University of Chicago, perhaps best known for co-authoring "The Israel Lobby and American Foreign Policy".
