*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 400 pages Published by: Basic Books Edition: 3rd Edition January 2000 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0465037054 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0465037056 Book Dimensions: 7.9 x 5.3 x 0.9 inches Weighs: 14.9 ounces *Reader Reviews* Michael Walzer's book is an in-depth look at the morality of war. It is not an easy read especially for the laymen. It helps if the reader has a good grounding in philosophy and understands the idea of "moral relativism". His book makes an in depth study of many facets of what takes place in warfare. The chapter that I found most interesting because it is in the news so much was on pre-emptive warfare. Walzer does believe that countries have the right to go to war pre-emotively but he does set the bar quite high. He believes a country must really be under eminent attack before it acts pre-emotively. He did believe that Israel acted justly in its pre-emptive attack against the Arabs in the 1967 war. He also defines terrorism as a criminal act and not a justifiable act of war. He makes a clear distinction between terrorism and guerilla warfare, deeming guerilla warfare a moral method of warfare. I recommend this book for military, political professionals and for philosophers. Comment \| \| (Report this) Back To Top
