But it is only credible so long as we believe that the ethical standards of just war are in fact realizable in practice. \n\nIn this engaging book, Christopher Finlay elucidates the assumptions underlying just war theory and defends them from a range of objections, arguing that it is a regrettable but necessary reflection of the moral realities of international politics..
