The ethics of war explores the moral limits and possibilities of
conflict. The argument proceeds from a just war standpoint which
balances rules or principles against the moral capacities and
dispositions of belligerents and the particular circumstances in
which they act. In this enlarged second edition, a new introduction
reflects on the impact of changes to just war thinking and to the
practice of war since the book's original publication. The common
criticism that traditional just war theory is incoherent, outmoded
and in need of radical revision is resisted, and instead, a case is
made for an ethics of war rooted in the historic tradition of just
war. The concept of just war is compared with realism, militarism
and pacifism; the principles of just recourse and just conduct are
examined with the aid of real life examples; and a new third part
addresses some of the ethical problems raised by terrorism and
counterterrorism. -- .
