Table of Contents1: Killing Civilians Is Worse than Killing Soldiers 2: Necessity 3: Opportunistic and Eliminative Killing 4: Risky Killing 5: Vulnerability and Defencelessness 6: Combat Non-immunity Epilogue Bibliography IndexReviewsThis book will make a difference in the future of just war theory. It is an important challenge to the basic assumptions of the leading contemporary just war theorists, and it is an indictment against their starting points. It is well written and its readability is enhanced by its avoidance of the technical language of most contemporary discussions of just war theory. The author can avoid technical and specialist language because his challenge is at a primitive level, factually and maybe logically prior to the level of most contemporary work in the field. Moreover, this book is innovative concerning how to do applied ethics more generally. Everyone in ethics will be interested in the author's discussions. * Peter Tramel, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * This is a hugely important book that will shape the debate on civilian immunity for years to come. * David Rodin, Australasian Journal of Philosophy * This is a hugely important book that will shape the debate on civilian immunity for years to come. * David Rodin, Australasian Journal of Philosophy * This book will make a difference in the future of just war theory.
