Reviews
This classic book is deservedly in its third, reinforced, and re-vitalized edition. The message is the same: fight only just wars, with due restraint, aiming throughout for nothing less than safe and lasting peace. --Patrick Mileham, International Society for Military Ethics
“This classic book is deservedly in its third, reinforced, and re-vitalized edition. The message is the same: fight only just wars, with due restraint, aiming throughout for nothing less than safe and lasting peace.” -- Patrick Mileham, International Society for Military Ethics “War continues to be a feature of the twenty-first century. As much as it jars with human conscience, it cannot be wished away - yet. Moral Constraints on War makes a solid case for putting moral constraints on this brutal activity, as long as it is permitted to exist. This is to be recommended to all those who have to make decisions about life and death.” -- Dmitri Trenin, Carnegie Moscow Center “This volume is a must-read for those interested in the morality of war. It provides a systematic overview of the just war criteria, thought provoking case studies, and is unique in its combination of various cultural perspectives.” -- Lonneke Peperkamp, Radboud University
