Abstract

This classic work examines issues surrounding military theory, war crimes, and spoils of war from Athenian attack on Melos to My Lai massacre.. A revised and updated classic treatment of morality of war written by one of our country's leading philosophers. Just and Unjust Wars examines a variety of conflicts in order to understand exactly why, according to Walzer, the argument about war and justice is still a political and moral necessity. Walzer's classic work draws on historical illustrations that range all way from Athenian attack on Melos to this morning's headlines, and uses testimony of participants-decision makers and victims alike-to examine moral issues of warfare.
