Just War Reconsidered: Strategy, Ethics, and Theory
LTG Dubik revisits Michael Walzer’s influential Just and Unjust Wars to further examine the ethics of modern warfare and explore moral issues that arise before, during, and after conflict to expand the previously limited analyses of the ethics of combat. Drawing from years of research and firsthand experience as a soldier and a teacher, LTG Dubik fills in the gaps left by other theorists in his most recent publication Just War Reconsidered: Strategy, Ethics, and Theory in a sobering reassessment of the fundamental truth that war uses and risks the lives of soldiers and innocents and the political and social health of communities.
