This book examines how Ronald Reagan's electrifying 1964 televised
speech, "A Time For Choosing," ignited the conservative movement
within the GOP. Ronald Reagan's televised speech, or what many
conservatives today simply call "The Speech," was a call for
action, telling Americans that now was "A Time for Choosing." "The
Speech" catapulted Reagan into national politics, the California
governorship, and ultimately the presidency. The themes of the
speech, including anti-Communism, strong national defense, and the
need to protect the average American from taxes and bureaucracy,
ignited the conservative movement in the GOP, resulting over time
in the sidelining of the more liberal, establishment wing of the
Republican Party. The contributors in this edited volume show how
Ronald Reagan's "coming out" speech on the national stage helped
set the political agenda for the next three decades.

This Companion provides scholars and graduates, serving and retired
military professionals, members of the diplomatic and policy
communities concerned with security affairs and legal professionals
who deal with military law and with international law on armed
conflicts, with a comprehensive and authoritative state-of-the-art
review of current research in the area of military ethics. Topics
in this volume reflect both perennial and pressing contemporary
issues in the ethics of the use of military force and are written
by established professionals and respected commentators. Subjects
are organized by three major perspectives on the use of military
force: the decision whether to use military force in a given
context, the matter of right conduct in the use of such force, and
ethical responsibilities beyond the end of an armed conflict.
Treatment of issues in each of these sections takes account of both
present-day moral challenges and new approaches to these and the
historical tradition of just war. Military ethics, as it has
developed, has been a particularly Western concern and this volume
reflects that reality. However, in a globalized world, awareness of
similarities and differences between Western approaches and those
of other major cultures is essential. For this reason the volume
concludes with chapters on ethics and war in the Islamic, Chinese,
and Indian traditions, with the aim of integrating reflection on
these approaches into the broad consideration of military ethics
provided by this volume.
Though scholars of political science and moral philosophy have
long analyzed the justifications for and against waging war as well
as the ethics of warfare itself, the problem of "ending" wars has
received less attention. In the first book to apply just war theory
to this phase of conflict, Eric Patterson presents a three-part
view of justice in end-of-war settings involving order, justice,
and reconciliation. Patterson's case studies range from successful
applications of "jus post bellum, " such as the U.S. Civil War or
Kosovo, to challenges such as present-day Iraq.
