Reviews
Charles Jones is a creative and distinctive thinker who has developed a style of exposition that is all his own. An absorbing book that tackles the thornier questions of just war theory with an engaging treatment of some of the more interesting personalities of the literature on war. Masterful in scope and ambitious in design - the result is a genuinely entertaining read. Christopher Coker, Professor of International Relations, LSE, UK This book is a rarity - imaginative, provocative - in a crowded field of titles about ethics, war and justice. It affirms the ethical importance of the stories we tell in ways that deserve a wide readership. Roger Epp, Professor of Political Science, University of Alberta, Canada. Charles Jones presents a fascinating interpretation of the issues of morality in warfare: by considering issues of theology as well as literary interpretations of the subject of war, Jones' work will shape discussion of the just war tradition for years to come. Phillip W. Gray, Visiting Assistant Professor, Liberal Arts Program, Texas A&M University at Qatar, Qatar.
