Can war be morally justified? What is the philosophy behind armed conflict? How
do you conduct an ethical war? And what guides military action as the nature of
conflict changes over time? Based on a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course)
designed for both military personnel and non-specialists across the globe,
Military Ethics: An introduction is structured as a series of 'mini-chapters'
that cover a huge range of topics and issues: moral dilemmas, military and
civilian interactions, freedom of the press, peacekeeping, terrorism, and
humanitarian intervention. Written by a team of academic experts, many with
military experience, the book contains scenarios and case studies, including the
Gulf War, the Falklands War, 'Ground Zero' in New York City and more
conventional theatres of war through history, as well as cyber-terrorism, the
role of military contractors and unmanned weapons systems.
