Reviews
War by Agreement is the only serious book-length account and defence of contractarian just war theory. It has appeared at a critical inflection point in the development of just war theory... Benbaji and Statman provide an iluminating counterpoint to revisionism, which keeps the laws of war firmly in view. * Janina Dill and Cecile Fabre, Law and Philosophy * Valuable contribution to the already well-saturated literature on the morality of war — an achievement in and of itself. * Lior Erez, Springer Nature Switzerland * At last: a brilliant contribution to the literature of just war by two philosophers who actually know something about war. * Michael Walzer, Princeton Institute for Advanced Study *
