Most people strongly condemn terrorism; yet they often fail to say
how terrorist acts differ from other acts of violence such as the
killing of civilians in war. Stephen Nathanson argues that we
cannot have morally credible views about terrorism if we focus on
terrorism alone and neglect broader issues about the ethics of war.
His book challenges influential views on the ethics of war,
including the realist view that morality does not apply to war, and
Michael Walzer's defence of attacks on civilians in 'supreme
emergency' circumstances. It provides a clear definition of
terrorism, an analysis of what makes terrorism morally wrong, and a
rule-utilitarian defence of noncombatant immunity, as well as
discussions of the Allied bombings of cities in World War II,
collateral damage, and the clash between rights theories and
utilitarianism. It will interest a wide range of readers in
philosophy, political theory, international relations and law.
