On War A Dialogue

"Brian Orend has written an dialogue from the perspectives of a critically injured soldier and his spouse on all questions related to the ethics of going to war and the ethics of fighting in war. Readers learn of the major traditions of thinking about war, including realism, pacifism, just war theory, and international law. Orend draws on a variety of references from the Civil War to the war in Iraq to illustrate the moral dimension and ambiguity of war."--BOOK JACKET.
