Just and Unjust Wars: A Moral Argument With Historical Illustrations (Basic Books Classics)

Editorial Reviews
The New York Review of Books
"A magnificent book, an honor to its writer...a book that makes for a return of civilized discussion of the question of the morality of war."

Book Description
A classic treatment of the morality of war written by one of our country's leading philosophers, with a new introduction considering the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo. Just and Unjust Wars examines a variety of conflicts in order to understand exactly why, according to Walzer, "the argument about war and justice is still a political and moral necessity." Walzer's classic work draws on historical illustrations that range all the way from the Athenian attack on Melos to this morning's headlines, and uses the testimony of participants-decision makers and victims alike-to examine the moral issues of warfare.
