Reviews

O'Driscoll's book is informative and interesting to read. The author gives short summaries of the theories of Michael Walzer and Jeff McMahan, who are key figures in today's discussion about just war theory. * Stefan Hofmann, SJ, Sankt Georgen, Frankfurt am Main, The Heythrop Journal * This is a book that demands attention, that should be taken off the shelf and used to inform arguments and debates about the morality of wars and, indeed, of war itself... This book is glorious precisely because it pushes us to confront...difficult questions. * Alex J. Bellamy, Contemporary Political Theory * a thoughtful, erudite book that manages to insightfully explore both just war theory and the nature of war. * Jeffrey W. Meiser, assistant professor at the University of Portland, Strategy Bridge *
