Origins of the Just War: Military Ethics and Culture in the Ancient Near East

Rory Cox (Caltech-Huntington, 2017-18)

Reveals the incredible richness and complexity of ethical thought about war in the three millennia preceding the Greco-Roman period, establishing the extent to which ancient just war thought prefigured much of what we now consider to be the building blocks of the Western just war tradition.
