Description
War Is Never Just: A critique of "Just War" theory
This thought-provoking book challenges the traditional notion that war can be just, arguing that the criteria used to determine its justice are often unmeasurable, unachievable or amoral. By examining the perspective behind this theory, David Cn Swanson makes a compelling case for why it is time to move beyond the idea of a just war.
Swanson contends that the belief in the possibility of a just war has far-reaching consequences, diverting resources away from human and environmental needs and fuelling unjust conflicts. A timely and important contribution to the debate on war and morality, War Is Never Just is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in politics, philosophy and ethics.
