Summary
Killing civilians is worse than killing soldiers. Few moral principles have been more widely and viscerally affirmed. But in recent years it has faced a rising tide of dissent. Seth Lazar turns this tide and vindicates international law. He develops new insights into the morality of harm, relevant to everyone interested in the debate.
