This book, which examines war as a crucial test for humanity, is a masterpiece of political and moral theory. It combines historical examples, perspectives from participants in armed conflicts, and the philosophical, theological, and political tradition on the subject. It focuses on ius ad bellum (justice of resorting to war), ius in bellum (justice in the conduct during war), and ius post bellum (justice in peace agreements). Walzer's contribution is innovative and departs from conventional thinking about war, offering an appropriate analysis for armed conflict in the post-Cold War era.
