Sinopse

Military Ethics Today examines the critical role of ethical principles in modern warfare, questioning whether they are truly upheld amidst the harsh realities of armed conflict. It explores the evolution of military ethics, from ancient codes to the Geneva Conventions, highlighting the necessity of adapting ethical frameworks to address contemporary challenges like cyber warfare and autonomous weapons. The book argues that a proactive, values-driven approach, emphasizing continuous education and international cooperation, is crucial for mitigating ethical risks in modern conflict, especially given that the erosion of ethical standards can undermine peace and stability.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core ethical concepts such as distinction, proportionality, and necessity, alongside legal frameworks governing armed conflict. It then delves into specific ethical dilemmas, including the protection of non-combatants in urban warfare and the implications of targeted killings. By exploring these issues through historical case studies, legal analyses, and empirical research, the book offers a practical framework for military professionals, policymakers, and citizens to navigate the ethical complexities of twenty-first-century warfare. It underscores the importance of ethical training and leadership within military institutions, alongside robust international accountability.

The Truce - Progressives...

Hunter Walker, Luppe B. n

The Truce is a definitive history of a half-decade of upheaval in the Democratic Party in which a new generation aggressively pursued their progressive ideals while the powerful, centrist establishment adapted to remain in command. Journalists Hunter Walker and Luppe B. Luppen illuminate this story of backroom maneuvering and political strategy with new revelations about pivotal events and exclusive, on-the-record comments from activists, campaign operatives, and members of Congress. 
 
 
 
The Truce explores the major fault lines that define Democratic politics today and asks big questions about the future of the party. Will economic or social justice hold primacy at the top of the Democratic agenda? Who will lead the major wings of the party after two defining figures, Biden and Sanders, exit the stage? The Truce surveys the major shifts underway, from the rise of the Squad and new Democratic leadership in the House to a complete overhaul of the primary process. By digging into the divide between left and center, Walker and Luppen expose the creeping generational and political tensions that Biden has—for the moment—kept at bay. 
 
 
 
An engrossing work, and a surprising must-listen, The Truce grapples with the dangers that threaten American democracy and the complicated cast of characters who are trying to save it.
