About the book
Michael Walzer presents a philosophical and ethical reflection on war, questioning when it is just and how it should be conducted. The book gathers essays that explore contemporary and historical conflicts through moral and legal principles, addressing topics such as humanitarian intervention, terrorism and the distinction between combatants and civilians.
