Can Modern War Be Just?

Now that mankind has created the capability of destroying itself through nuclear technology, is it still possible to think in terms of a "just war"? Johnson argues that it is, and in the context of specific case studies he offers moral guidelines for addressing such major contemporary problems as terrorist activity in a foreign country, an individual's conscientious objection to military service, and an American defense policy that requires development of weapons that may be morally employed in case of need.Johnson, James Turner is the author of 'Can Modern War Be Just?' with ISBN 9780300036268 and ISBN 0300036264.
