Summary: An analysis of the basic principle underlying the concept of just war: that armed force can be used in the cause of national self-defence. This in turn is based by analogy on the right to use force for personal self-defence. This book argues that there is no compelling moral argument in support of the parallel and consequently the entire Just War Theory is built on unsatisfactory foundations.
