This book questions when, why, and how it is just for a people to
go to war, or to refrain from warring, in a post-9/11 world. To do
so, it explores Just War Theory (JWT) in relationship to recent
American accounts of the experience of war. The book analyses the
jus ad bellum criteria of just war-right intention, legitimate
authority, just cause, probability of success, and last
resort-before exploring jus in bello, or the law that governs the
way in which warfare is conducted. By combining just-war ethics and
sustained explorations of major works of twentieth and twenty-first
century American war writing, this study offers the first
book-length reflection on how JWT and literary studies can inform
one another fruitfully.
