Accountability for Killing

Moral Responsibility for Collateral Damage in America's Post-9/11 Wars

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A sophisticated and intellectually powerful analysis of culpability and moral responsibility in war, Accountability for Killing focuses on the causes of many episodes of foreseeable collateral damage. Why was there so much unintended killing of civilians in the U.S. wars zones in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan? Is 'collateral damage' simply an unavoidable consequence of all wars? Why, when the U.S. military tries so hard to limit collateral damage, does so much of it seem to occur? Trenchant, original, and ranging across security studies, international law, ethics, and international relations, Accountability for Killing will reshape our understanding of the ethics of contemporary war.
