Responding to increasing global anxiety over the ethics education of military personnel, this volume illustrates the depth, rigour and critical acuity of Professional Military Ethics Education (PMEE) with contributions by ethical theorists. It also explores a neglected moral dimension of warfare, jus ante bellum (the ethics of pre-war practices).
