Recensioner i media

"This is a superb, comprehensive collection of the basic texts that make up the just war tradition. Some have been very difficult to get hold of and others have been translated for the first time. It will be an indispensable resource for all departments of international affairs, ethics, war studies, peace studies and many history departments." (Times Higher Education, 25 May 2007)"As a collection of key readings, each prefaced by editorial comment, it can scarcely be bettered." (The Times)"An invaluable resource for many readers for years to come...anyone interested in the history of western thought on the subject of war will find [the volume] fascinating." (Peace News)
