This book provides an analysis of the morality of war and deals with two essential just war theory questions : when it is morally permissible to go to war and what it is morally permissible to do in war. The author draws many historical examples and his theory can be summarized : non-intervention is primary principle because nations right to self-determination must be respected ; intervention to support states such right is permissible on three circumstances (when nation wants to make seccion out of original state and wants to create own state ; when intervention has already done and idea of new intervention is to counter original intervention effects ; humanitarian intervention when severe and large human right violation have occured in state). His view is communitarinist : community is vital to human beings and without community there can not be human rights.
