"Orend carefully expounds Walzer's philosophy ... showing how the arguments of Just and Unjust Wars are related to those of Spheres of Justice, Thick and Thin, and other works. The book exposes tensions between Walzer's 'conventionalism' and his attachment to a minimal but more universal and more consistently nonconsequentialist understanding of morality. In exploring these tensions, Orend deepens our understanding of Walzer and makes a contribution of his own to the discussion of international justice." Terry Nardin, author of Law, Morality and The Relations of States, and professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
