Reviews
A genuinely important book. Dubik's experience as a military leader has clearly given him a keen sense of civil-military leadership dynamics and of the practical realities of war, and this lends great authority to his perspective. - Scott P. Segrest, author of America and the Political Philosophy of Common Sense. Just War Reconsidered examines a timeless topic: moral leadership at the strategic level of war. Dubik's five principles for waging war justly provide a framework for judging the moral agency of senior leaders, civilian and military, in their war-waging responsibilities. - Lance Betros, author of Carved from Granite: West Point since 1902.

Just War Reconsidered will surprise, discomfort, and ultimately enlighten those interested in how the nation wields the military instrument of power. Dubik challenges us to understand and confront not only our responsibility to fight wars ethically but also to wage wars ethically. --
