War in the Twentieth Century

Brief Description: A timely anthology by Christian ethicists and ecclesial groups who are concerned with the justice of war in the 20th century.

Catholic and Methodist bishops address ethical issues relevant to modern warfare--obliteration bombing, selective conscientious objection, and nuclear deterrence.
