War Ethics: Theory, Practice and Memoir is an extraordinarily diverse collection of over ninety readings on the ethics, law, morality, and justice of armed conflict. Each of the foundational theories of war ethics—realism, pacifism, just war theory, and international law—is examined in depth, as are challenging alternative perspectives from feminist thinkers and the world’s major religions. A substantial section on contemporary issues covers topics ranging from cyberwar, A.I., terrorism, and drones to torture, war’s environmental impacts, and the rights of soldiers and veterans. Also included is an extensive collection of riveting first-person accounts from soldiers, civilians, and observers, which powerfully convey the personal impacts of war. Introductory discussions and summary articles from Brian Orend are integrated throughout the text, including a closing essay on new technologies and the future of war.
