This revised edition expands the original 1989 analysis of the morality of war and military service with a new chapter on torture. Sidney Axinn examines ethical justifications for warfare, the moral responsibilities of soldiers and states, and how modern conflicts challenge traditional moral frameworks — arguing for a principled military ethics grounded in human dignity, justice, and moral restraint.
