Though scholars of political science and moral philosophy have long analyzed the justifications for and against waging war as well as the ethics of warfare itself, the problem of ending wars has received less attention. In the first book to apply just war theory to this phase of conflict, Eric Patterson presents a three-part view of justice in end-of-war settings involving order, justice, and reconciliation. Patterson's case studies range from successful applications of jus post bellum, such as the U.S. Civil War or Kosovo, to challenges such as present-day Iraq.
"This work is a major contribution to clear thinking and analysis of the problem of successful termination of military conflicts."--Martin L. Cook, Professor and Admiral James Bond Stockdale Chair of Professional Military Ethics at the College of Operational and Strategic Leadership (United States Naval War College)--Dr, Martin L. Cook
