The book provides a historical overview of the just war idea and also turns a critical eye on current events, including the idea of preemptive war, the use of torture, and the unreality of the Bush Doctrine.Just war doctrineJust war doctrine.172/.42Fiala Andrew1966-1544742MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790593903321The just war myth3799188UNINA
