D. Chan 
Beyond Just War [PDF ebook] 
A Virtue Ethics Approach

Supporto

Unlike most books on the ethics of war, this book rejects the ‘just war’ tradition, proposing a virtue ethics of war to take its place. Like torture, war cannot be justified. It answers the question: ‘If war is a very great evil, would a leader with courage, justice, compassion, and all the other moral virtues ever choose to fight a war?’
