Description
Book SynopsisWar After September 11 considers the just aims and legitimate limits of the United States' response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Trade ReviewThe essays in War After September 11 make clear that anyone who is smugly confident about the rightness of U.S. responses to terrorism simply hasn't understood the difficulty of the issues involved. Those who boast about moral clarity have not looked at these complex moral issues with the care of the authors here. -- Stephen Nathanson, professor of philosophy, Northeastern University * Northeastern University *
