Kaurin, long known for her compelling and insightful views on military ethics, offers up a treasure trove of intelligent inquiry in The Warrior, Military Ethics and Contemporary Warfare: Achilles Goes Asymmetrical. Her trademark wisdom and wit is on display as she sheds light on some of the most vexing ethical issues of our day. Prescient and timely, it is a tour de force of thoughtful and careful deliberation by a mature mind. The book reflects Kaurin's many years of teaching, writing, and thinking about the moral conundrums facing modern warfighters. Her insights on the role of such virtues as courage and loyalty for today's soldiers hold profound significance in our ever changing militaries - forced as they are to adapt to new forms of warfighting and emerging technologies. Kaurin's book is a must read for anyone interested in thinking deeply about war and those who wage it.' Bradley Jay Strawser, Oxford University Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict, UK'For decades military professionals have grappled with the challenge of how to wage asymmetric war justly and effectively. This volume makes a significant contribution to that task by providing a cohesive and comprehensive look at how the changing character of war and warriors shapes moral decision-making. It is a must read for all who practise or study asymmetric warfare.'Rebecca Johnson, Marine Corps University, USA Author InformationPauline Kaurin holds a PhD in Philosophy from Temple University, and is a specialist in military ethics, just war theory, philosophy of law and applied ethics.
