Reviews

A timely work that engages with many important issues of the day ! In many respects the most salient aspect of this volume is its ability to dissect the moral rhetoric increasingly espoused by the Bush administration ! If just war is to be more than simply a rhetorical device then this exploration of its applicability to current policy is welcome and necessary.
