Rezensionen

'A precisely argued, clear contribution to the messy and imprecise discussions on empathy in the morality of war. In particular, the treatment of moral injury is relevant to current discussions of human costs of war for those fighting on our behalf. Must-read for academics and national security practitioners alike!--Pauline M. Shanks Kaurin, Stockdale Chair in Professional Military Ethics, US Naval War College
