Guerras justas. De Cicerón a Iraq

Rate this book
¿En qué circunstancias es legítima una guerra? ¿De qué modo debe ser regulado el uso de la fuerza? ¿Cuáles son las guerras "justas" en las que está justificado luchar y matar? Desde el saqueo de Jerusalén por los cruzados cristianos en 1099 hasta la violencia genocida en los Balcanes y en el África subsahariana, muchos conflictos armados se han convertido en matanzas masivas. Guerras justas constituye un análisis exhaustivo, riguroso e imprescindible acerca de la legitimidad de las guerras y los nuevos problemas éticos que plantean.

Although the book relies on facts and takes you through a journey that starts in Ancient Greek and ends in our days, the premise behind it is almost philosophical: how did the concept of "just war" changed through history to adapt to the circumstances and need to justify the actions and decisions of those in power ? How has war been rationalized to make it sound almost like a fair thing to do? Well written, straight-to-the-point, awesome book.
