James Turner Johnson examines the historical and moral foundations of just war theory in the context of the nuclear age. By tracing the development of ethical frameworks from classical antiquity through the twentieth century, the author evaluates whether traditional criteria for legitimate conflict remain applicable when facing the potential for total global destruction.
