by James G. Murphy (Author)

Murphy's insightful analysis of jus ad bellum ("the right of war") is grounded in a variety of contemporary examples from World War I through Vietnam, the "soccer war" between Honduras and El Salvador, Afghanistan, and the Middle East conflict. This timely study will be of interest to scholars and students in ethics, war and peace, and international affairs.
