Brian Orend on ‘War Ethics: Theory, Practice, and Memoir’
Wars keep erupting. Russia-Ukraine; Israel-Hamas; Israel-Hezbollah; targeted strikes against Houthis in Yemen, and between Israel and Iran; Syria; Myanmar; Sudan; and rising conflict in the Congo involving Rwandan factions and threatening to spiral throughout Central Africa. Ours is not a peaceful time, to say nothing of the decline in global cooperation in general and the sharp rise in aggressive—even expansionist—nationalism, notably amongst the great powers of the US, China, India, and Russia. In short: conflict and war are grabbing headlines, altering the fate of people and countries forever, and crying out for fresh and thorough investigation.
This anthology is comprehensive and up to date, yet still readily affordable. It is sizable and diverse, allowing one to craft a personalized reader on war and peace in our time—either for oneself or for one’s students. It offers one-stop shopping in that regard. I invite readers to explore the exciting table of contents, as well as the list of “topical clusters” which follows, to quickly identify everything this book has to offer.
