Daryl Charles and Mark David Hall “Fear, Honor, and Interest”: The Unjust Motivations and Outcomes of the American Revolutionary War by John D. Roche The War of 1812 by Jonathan Den Hartog James K. Polk and the War with Mexico by Daniel Walker Howe The Fractured Union and the Justification for War by Gregory Jones Just War and the Spanish-American War by Timothy J. Demy The Great War, the United States, and Just War Thought by Jonathan H. Ebel The United States and Japan in the Second World War: A Just War Perspective by Kerry E. Irish America’s Ambiguous “Police Action”: The Korean Conflict by Laura Jane Gifford Vietnam and the Just War Tradition by Mackubin Thomas Owens The First and Second Gulf Wars by Darrell Cole The War on Terror and Afghanistan by Rouven Steeves Acknowledgements About the ContributorsReviewsThis collection has the capacity to be the reference point for just war theory in relation to American wars from colonial origins to today. It deserves a wide readership. The editors are extremely knowledgeable and their arguments cohere. --Harry Stout, Jonathan Edwards Professor of American Religious History, Yale University This collection has the capacity to be the reference point for just war theory in relation to American wars from colonial origins to today. It deserves a wide readership. The editors are extremely knowledgeable and their arguments cohere. --Harry Stout, Jonathan Edwards Professor of American Religious History, Yale University These wise, penetrating essays offer a dispassionate moral assessment of the justice of past American wars from the just war perspective. The editors' superb introductory chapter on the just war tradition provides the foundation for the eleven case studies on U.S. wars--from the Revolutionary War to recent post-Cold War conflict in Afghanistan. This book is an important contribution to the applied ethics of just war reasoning. --Mark R. Amstutz, emeritus, Wheaton College Many recently published and revised books discuss the just war tradition with the aid of case studies or historical examples, but I cannot think of any recent book that focuses solely on the ethics of a subset of US wars. The book is very readable for anyone in academic humanities and even for non-academics. America and the Just War Tradition succeeds admirably as a general introduction. It provides a jumping-off point for deeper analysis of the ethics of particular wars. --James L.

Amstutz, emeritus, Wheaton College This compilation of essays gives a historical and moral framework to understand what . . . any of the millions of American servicemen were doing anywhere the United States has fought over the last 250 or so years. --Law & Liberty Many recently published and revised books discuss the just war tradition with the aid of case studies or historical examples, but I cannot think of any recent book that focuses solely on the ethics of a subset of US wars.
