After the Smoke Clears: The Just War Tradition and Post War Justice

By Tobias L. Winright and Mark J. Allman

Book Overview

While most studies of just war focus on the rationale for going to war and the conduct of the war, this important book examines the period after the conflict, What must be done to restore justice? In the words of the authors, ?'Victory' is declared by presidents and other leaders, yet all too often no just peace is to be found in the wake of today's conflicts.... After the smoke clears, the powers that be may declare 'mission accomplished' when, as Ezekiel long ago said, there really is no peace.? Book jacket.
