9/11 and the subsequent invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq have left
many people baffled and concerned. This interdisciplinary study of
the ethics of war provides an excellent orientation not only to
present, but also to future conflicts. It looks both back at
historical traditions of ethical thought and forward to
contemporary and emerging issues. The Ethics of War traces how
different cultures involved in present conflicts have addressed
similar problems over the centuries. Distinguished authors reflect
how the Graeco-Roman world, Byzantium, the Christian just war
tradition, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and the Geneva Conventions have
addressed recurrent ethical problems of war. Cutting-edge essays by
prominent modern theorists address vital contemporary issues
including asymmetric war, preventive war, human rights and
humanitarian intervention. Distinguished academics, ethical
leaders, and public policy figures have collaborated in this
innovative and accessible guide to ethical issues in war.
