Brian Orend has written an ideal introduction to the morality of war: engaging, accessible, comprehensive, historically informed and bang up to date. 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 first edition of The Morality of War was one of the most widely-read and successful books ever written on the topic. In this second edition, Brian Orend builds on the substantial strengths of the first, adding important new material on: cyber-warfare; drone attacks; the wrap-up of Iraq and Afghanistan; conflicts in Libya and Syria; and protracted struggles (like the Arab-Israeli conflict). Updated and streamlined throughout, the book offers new research tools and case studies, while keeping the winning blend of theory and history featured in the first edition. This book remains an engaging and comprehensive examination of the ethics, and practice, of war and peace in today's world.
