520 1 _a"This classic work of political ethics radically reconfigured the way that we think about war. From the Athenian attack on Melos to the My Lai massacre, from the wars in the Balkans through the first war in Iraq, Michael Walzer examines the moral issues surrounding military theory, war crimes, and the spoils of war. He studies a variety of conflicts over the course of history, as well as the testimony of those who have been most directly involved-participants, decision makers, and victims. In his new introduction, he specifically addresses the moral issues surrounding the war in and occupation of Iraq. In this new edition, Walzer reminds us that "the argument about war and justice is still a political and moral necessity." Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
