I have many qualms with this book, but there are also some really great discussions of issues that really got me thinking. As the subtitle says, it is a great introduction to the ethics of war and peace.

(Endast kap. 1-6). Mycket pedagogisk och lättförståelig utan att bli övertydlig. Väldigt bra introbok!
