Review: "Daryl Charles reconsiders the use of force to maintain or reestablish justice, showing how love for a neighbor can warrant the just use of force. Reviewing and updating the just-war teaching of the church, he shows how it captures many of the concerns of the pacifist position while deliberately avoiding the excesses of jihad and militarism."--Jacket.
