“Just war” as a book category covers works that examine when and how war can be morally and legally justified, centering on just war theory. These books explore criteria for going to war (jus ad bellum), conduct during war (jus in bello), and duties after war (jus post bellum), engaging issues like legitimate authority, right intention, proportionality, civilian immunity, and accountability. The category spans classic foundations from Augustine, Aquinas, and Grotius to contemporary philosophy, international law, political theory, and military ethics, often tied to case studies and policy debates. It can also include narrative nonfiction and fiction that dramatize the moral dilemmas of leaders and combatants, contrasting just war thinking with pacifism and realism.
