"A classic in the field" (New York Times), this is a penetrating
investigation into moral and ethical questions raised by war,
drawing on examples from antiquity to the present. Just and Unjust
Wars has forever changed how we think about the ethics of conflict.
In this modern classic, political philosopher Michael Walzer
examines the moral issues that arise before, during, and after the
wars we fight. Reaching from the Athenian attack on Melos, to the
Mai Lai massacre, to the war in Afghanistan and beyond, Walzer
mines historical and contemporary accounts and the testimony of
participants, decision makers, and victims to explain when war is
justified and what ethical limitations apply to those who wage it.
