Arguing that there's no such thing as a good war, this thorough refutation of every major argument used to defend war is certain to incite critical thinking, discussion, and debate.
Drawing on evidence from numerous past conflicts, particularly those commonly considered to have been unavoidable or justifiable, the author systematically dispels the myth that some wars are "good" wars and provides readers with the tools necessary to discredit the reasoning behind any conflict—past, present, or future. Chapters include "Wars Are Not Fought Against Evil," "Wars Are Not Waged Out of Generosity," "Wars Are Not Unavoidable," "Wars Are Not Legal," and "War Is Over if You Want It." A final chapter examines the most common justifications of 2010–2015.
