9/11 and the subsequent invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq have left many people baffled and concerned. This interdisciplinary study of the ethics of war provides an excellent orientation not only to present, but also to future conflicts. It looks both back at historical traditions of ethical thought and forward to contemporary and emerging issues. The Ethics of War traces how different cultures involved in present conflicts have addressed similar problems over the centuries. Distinguished authors reflect how the Graeco-Roman world, Byzantium, the Christian just war tradition, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and the Geneva Conventions have addressed recurrent ethical problems of war. Cutting-edge essays by prominent modern theorists address vital contemporary issues including asymmetric war, preventive war, human rights and humanitarian intervention. Distinguished academics, ethical leaders, and public policy figures have collaborated in this innovative and accessible guide to ethical issues in war. ~ https://www.amazon.com/Ethics-War-Problems-Different-Traditions/dp/0754654494/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1BH6P2DCE21VO&keywords=The+ethics+of+war+%3A+shared+problems+in+different+traditions&qid=1663179918&s=books&sprefix=the+ethics+of+war+shared+problems+in+different+traditions%2Cstripbooks%2C50&sr=1-1
