This book comprises essays that focus on a range of thinkers who challenge the boundaries of the just war tradition.

The ethics of war scholarship has become a rigid and highly disciplined activity, closely associated with a very particular canon of thinkers.

The book asks how ethics of war scholars might benefit from engaging with them. Some of these thinkers engage directly withâto augment or criticizeâthe just war tradition, while others contribute to military thinking across the ages, pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable in war. Many proffer alternative moral frameworks regarding the legitima
