Caron E. Gentry and Amy E. Eckert's volume, The Future of Just War, is a solid and stimulating collection of essays that advances the state of the art of Just War theory. Interest in the justice of war has exploded over the past two decades, and this volume features fascinating, instructive pieces on such cutting-edge subjects as new weapons technologies, 'postheroic warfare, ' and the aftermath of armed conflict. Interesting, important, and well composed.
--Brian Orend "author of The Morality of War "Whether it is the runaway use of drones, the lack of accountability of private security firms, or the invention of new categories like 'postbellum' ethics, the scope and significance of the Just War tradition has been trampled in recent U.S. thinking and policy. Professors Gentry and Eckert and their contributors reassert it smartly, fairly, and often courageously in this volume. Every American ethicist, cleric, international-affairs expert, policymaker, and soldier should read this book.
