Description
Just and Unjust Wars forever changed the way we think about the ethics of conflict. First published in 1977 and now brought up to the present with a new preface and postscript, this classic work by political philosopher Michael Walzer examines the moral issues that arise before, during, and after the wars we fight.
Reaching from the Athenian attack on Melos, to the Mai Lai massacre, to Afghanistan and beyond, Walzer mines historical accounts and the testimony of participants, decision makers, and victims to explain when war is justified and what ethical limitations apply to those who wage it.

Just and Unjust Wars by Michael Walzer is highly regarded for its insightful examination of the ethical dimensions of warfare. Critics praise the book as a classic in its field, lauding its clear and humanitarian approach to analysing the complex moral issues surrounding war. It is celebrated for reviving civilised discourse around the morality of war and passionately defending principles like non-combatant immunity. Often considered a significant contribution to just-war theory, it provides a thorough and persuasive exploration of these intricate topics.
