"The Ethics of War and Peace provides a clear and comprehensive guide to perspectives on morality and the use of force. Analysing the 'conditions of peace' as well as the ethics of war, it offers a powerful defence of 'cosmopolitan pacificism'. This is a distinctive addition to the literature that can be warmly recommended to students of ethics and world politics."
