"One could not wish for a more tightly developed set of empirical
cases ... Bellamy produces a very thoughtful narrative, emphasizing
the disparate elements that comprise the modern just war
tradition."
Perspectives
Perspectives
"A model of careful and balanced discussion ... Bellamy strikes
just the right balance between rigorous examination of general
concepts and consideration of the concrete aspects of particular
cases."
Henry Shue, Survival
“A convincing analysis of the emergence of international
law and the dominance of realism after the Second World War [and]
an excellent application of this theoretical and historical
narrative to contemporary issues.”
Political Studies Review
"This is an engaging book that captures the breadth and depth of
arguments over why and how we should kill one another."
International Affairs
"A book to admire and to argue with – in other words, the
best sort of book."
Jean Bethke Elshtain, University of Chicago
