Here are all the major issues, sensitively discussed with the aid of vivid case studies and examples. Of particular importance is Orend's work on jus post bellum--justice after war--and his discussion of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and the broader 'war on terror.' This book deserves to be read by all those with an interest in the dilemmas of war and international relations. - David Rodin, Oxford University, UK If one were looking for a single book to provide a comprehensive discussion of just war theory, an analysis of the deep moral principles that ground the theory, an examination of the theory applied to real-world scenarios, and an assessment of the role of just war theory in our era, this would be the book. - Daniel S. Zupan, United States Military Academy Brian Orend has written a wonderfully lucid and bravely innovative account of just war theory. - Michael Walzer, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA The Morality of War takes the reader from the Greco-Roman period to contemporary ethical challenges associated with cyberwar and terrorism. This book is approachable and enjoyable for anyone--students, scholars, and soldiers--interested in the nexus of morality and conflict. --Eric Patterson, author of Ending War Well and editor of Ethics Beyond War's End Author InformationBrian Orend is Director of International Studies and a professor of philosophy at the University of Waterloo.
