A (seriously) mixed bag of largely independent essays on the practical considerations of Just War Theory, both in and ad Bello. Excellent essays on topics like Siege Warfare and terrorism, less convincing ones on Supreme Necessity and Nuclear deterrence, hampered perhaps by the relative dearth of accurate data on some incidents prior to the opening of the Soviet Archive.

N.b. Not an introductory work, or an argument in defense of Just War Theory.
