"This study takes as its task to propose a model which accommodates both military realist and just war concerns.  It examines two popular interpretations of Clausewitz’s 'remarkable trinity.'  It then examines two much older trinitarian social models, which it uses as guides to discover what a model of the convergence of military realist and just war thought might look like.  It then proposes a revised model of the "remarkable trinity" which accommodates just war concerns." - Abstract

Flynn, the importance of the ethical training of those who join the military cannot be overestimated.  Beginning by tracing the development of the just war tradition, Flynn then goes on to consider:  Is the individual soldier free to act according to his or her own conscience in a war, or is the soldier required to show unconditional obedience to the commanding officers?  How do the rules of engagement governing the conduct of war measure up to the criteria of the just war tradition?  How should we evaluate the war on terror and the conduct of individual soldiers in the light of just war criteria?" - Book Jacket

"When the nation tore itself apart during the Civil War, both sides marched under the banner of God. The nation's great internal test required not only a war of troops but also a war of ideas, as the Union and Confederacy each strained to establish a legitimate identity as a moral nation.  In this bold and original book, Harry Stout looks at the words and deeds of both sides, asking how their actual conduct can be judged against the enduring rules of society." - Annotation
