Just and Unjust Wars
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Just and Unjust Wars: A Moral Argument with Historical Illustrations is a 1977 book by Michael Walzer published by Basic Books and still in print, now as part of the Basic Books Classics Series.
The book resulted from Walzers reflections on the Vietnam War. Walzer draws on medieval Just War Theory to explore the reasons that can justify war jus ad bellum and the ethical limits on the conduct of war jus in bello in an attempt to work out a modern, secular theory of just war.[1]
