I found this book to have good information however it seems to be written for someone that already has a deep understanding of Catholic Natural Law and a very extensive background in both Midieval studies and ethical law. I found it very difficult for a beginner in the study of war ethics.

The aroused controversy on different international stages, around the powerful meaning of the justice as secular idea, collides with the war in more than an aspect. The overpopulation, and many others issues generated by very well known consequences by "the greenhouse effect", may not ignore the opinion of the religious views. If we assume we are living in a challenging and changing world, the innovativeness appears as vital resource to face every one of the unthinkable consequences derived from this process of evolution, where the breakthrough of the paradigms affects continuously our own convictions, and at least to my view, you have to be absolutely centered about your bliss in the life; if not I ' m afraid no other solution will be precisely comfortable or permanent. In this state of things what' must be the role of religion and moreover, in what level may contribute and make its voice be listened. If we analyze the emotional nature of the human being in comparison with our first ancestors, there's not a remarkable difference and that fact doesn't' seem to be a good signal.

Regardless your religious beliefs, the book is very interesting, because it gives us important clues around such thorny theme.
