Killing in War - Uehiro Series in Practical Ethics 1st edition
McMahan, Jeff (, Rutgers University, New Jersey)
Jeff McMahan urges us to reject the view, dominant throughout history, that mere participation in an unjust war is not wrong. He argues powerfully that combatants who fight for an unjust cause are acting wrongly and are themselves morally responsible for their actions. We must rethink our attitudes to the moral role of the individual in war.
