Zusammenfassung:"After twenty years of almost unbroken wars of choice, the ethical deficienciesin the operational conduct of war by Western armed forces have largely beenignored by scholarly critique.This volume addresses these deficiencies, featuring analysis by some of the UK’s leading academics and military veterans working in the fields of military ethics and contemporary conflict. Compiled in honour of Colonel David Benest OBE, a soldier-scholar who believed that ethics should be central to an effective military education, the book focuses on problems ranging from the practicalities of how to conduct a counterinsurgency campaign in one of the most challenging combat zones in the world to the failure to account properly for defeat during military conflicts. This important volume explores critical questions perennially raised about the role of the military in a democratic society and the extent to which its ideals are compromised in fighting wars of choice."
