Military Ethics

More about the book

Exploring the complex relationship between war and ethics, this book presents a pragmatic military ethic designed to impose some level of control over the chaos of warfare. Rather than advocating for idealistic notions, the authors focus on developing a realistic ethical framework that acknowledges the disruptive nature of conflict while striving to mitigate its violence. Originally published in 1986, the work challenges prevailing beliefs about the impossibility of establishing a military ethics system.
