The idea that war is sometimes justified is deeply embedded in
public consciousness. But it is only credible so long as we believe
that the ethical standards of just war are in fact realizable in
practice. In this engaging book, Christopher Finlay elucidates the
assumptions underlying just war theory and defends them from a
range of objections, arguing that it is a regrettable but necessary
reflection of the moral realities of international politics. Using
a range of historical and contemporary examples, he demonstrates
the necessity of employing the theory on the basis of careful moral
appraisal of real-life political landscapes and striking a balance
between theoretical ideals and the practical realities of conflict.
This book will be a crucial guide to the complexities of just war
theory for all students and scholars of the ethics and political
theory of war.
