The US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 prompted unprecedented public
interest in the ethics of war, a debate that has raged furiously in
the media, in politics and in the public consciousness ever since.
In this fascinating and informative book, Nicholas Fotion explores
the notion of developing an ethical theory that guides the
behaviour of those who are at war.Fotion gives a clear account of
just war theory, presenting it as a useful device in helping us
make decisions about what we should do when war appears on the
horizon. Examining conflicts such as Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Israel,
the Falklands and Afghanistan, the book interrogates the roles of
the various parties involved in military action. Articulate,
provocative and stimulating, "War and Ethics" is an ideal
introduction to this hugely important debate."Think Now" is a brand
new series of stimulating and accessible books examining key
contemporary social issues from a philosophical perspective.
Written by experts in philosophy, these books offer sophisticated
and provocative yet engaging writing on political and cultural
themes of genuine concern to the educated reader.
