Reviews

""Morality sometimes requires that a just war be ended before it has achieved its aims – and, occasionally, that an unjust war be prolonged. The essays in this urgently needed book greatly advance our understanding of the moral principles that determine when a belligerent must stop fighting."" Jeff McMahan, Oxford University, UK ""David Chan skilfully edits this outstanding collection of essays on a vital, yet under-appreciated, aspect of wartime justice. Penned by top experts, this thought-provoking volume combines searching theoretical reflections with detailed practical pieces, focussing on recent cases like Ukraine, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Highly recommended!"" Brian Orend, University of Waterloo, Canada ""The recognition of when and how to end wars justly (jus ex bello) has heretofore been neglected even in the midst of widespread discussion of other “juses” in contemporary moral and political discourse about war. The editor and several eminent scholars thoughtfully engage and rectify that glaring omission in this much-needed work."" George Lucas, Professor emeritus, U.S. Naval Academy
