This comprehensive overview examines the many facets of military
ethics as they are applied during times of armed conflict and times
of peace. An Introduction to Military Ethics: A Reference Handbook
presents the philosophical and conceptual foundations of military
ethics, offering an excellent foundation for exploration and
discussion of these issues. It focuses first on the 2,500-year
legacy of the "just war theory" and its application through
history. It then moves to the application of that tradition in the
modern era, showing how acts of terrorism by nonstate participants
require a new theory and way of thinking about when and how armed
force can be justifiably employed. Further, the author analyzes how
new theories might alter the fundamental identity of traditional
defensive military forces. The book also addresses peacetime
ethical issues, such as gender integration and the role of religion
in the military. The book is essential reading for military
officers and students, as well as those policymakers who confront
decisions about how to deploy military force during the War on
Terror.
