Title: One of the best texts on political ethics....
Review: This book, which Walzer did write as a polemic against the Vietnam War (something that many other people did at the same time) is one of the seminal texts in the often maligned discourse (atleast by Americans) regarding international political ethics. For what it is, it is a valuable book: Walzer is an erudite scholar who possesses a substantial knowledge of his material and a command of his subject. Perhaps it would be a bit dry if you were forced to read it-- but then, what isn't?For what this book is-- an attempt to summarize the ways throughout time and to make them relevant for its time (i.e. twenty five years ago) this is a powerful book. Now-- as to being a text for a European history class......
