Ethics at War How Should Military Personnel Make Ethical Decisions?

'How best to teach ethics to our military? This volume explores four intriguing possibilities, and places them in dialogue with each other. A must read for anyone trying to implement a successful military ethics program.'

Martin L. Cook, Admiral Stockdale Chair of Professional Military Ethics (Emeritus), US Naval War College

'Internationally-renowned military educators, literally drawn from the four corners of the globe, provide distinct, compelling, competing, but ultimately compatible views of military ethics drawn from a reservoir of shared experiences. Fascinating, engaging, and more than worthy of a close study.'

George R. Lucas, Jr., Senior Consultant, Geneva Center for Security Sector Governance, Distinguished Chair of Ethics, U.S. Naval Academy Emeritus, and Professor of Ethics & Public Policy, U.S. Naval Postgraduate School Emeritus

'We all strive to do the "right thing" in our lives but making the right decisions in stressful situations is often fraught with moral hazards. Fortunately, the approaches in this book help clarify even the murkiest of ethical dilemmas. A "must read" for decision makers, not just the military.'

Major General (Ret'd) Craig Lawrence CBE, Formerly the UK's Director of Joint Warfare and author of The Quick Guide to Effective Strategy

'An important contribution that will be of immediate interest to both specialists and more general readers. Accessible, informed and perceptive.'

Jason Burke, International Security Correspondent of The Guardian, and author

'This is, by far, the best book on this vital topic.'
