Publisher Description:

Rich in pedagogy and clearly structured throughout, this textbook combines theoretical analysis with both historical and contemporary examples to explain, compare, and evaluate the various causal theories and moral frameworks that have been most influential in discussions of war. The book:

  • clearly distinguishes the major descriptive and normative theories of war
  • explains their historical/philosophical roots
  • illustrates the theories using historical examples
  • shows how theories relate to controversial contemporary cases

While there are several books related to the study of war and peace, none approach the topic from such a comprehensive viewpoint.
