Rezensionen
"I commend Steinhoff's approach of engaging all the disparate literatures and proposing a practical approach to just war. That is an uncommon but welcome path to have taken, and Steinhoff is one of the few conversant enough to pull this off." - Joseph E. Capizzi, The Catholic University of America

"Steinhoff's book is not only analytically strong but also displays a thorough knowledge of the historical and legal dimensions of the Just War tradition and, importantly, utilizes this knowledge in the development of his own distinctive account. The result is a much-needed integration of philosophical analysis and legal scholarship." - Seumas Miller, Charles Sturt University, TU Delft and Oxford University
