Reviews

Craig White analyzes the U.S. decision to go to war in Iraq in terms of the moral justification for war, a topic too often treated superficially at best in our foreign policy establishment. With wars ongoing, and many advocating more wars, we would do well to look to Mr. White 's work to see what light the Just War Theory sheds on some of the most momentous decisions we face.--Ron Paul
