Prisoners-of-War and Their Captors in World War II
Provides a compelling argument for the continued existence of military forces and against overly idealistic views of "world peace" based on an Augustinian view of the imperfect world and the current inaccessibility to a perfect world. I haven't read "The City of God" myself, but even the assumption aside, this book takes a pragmatic approach to the moral basis of maintaining armed forces. Also, a very good reflection on the new directions the US military as a vector of humanitarian aid. Definitely worth the read if you are interested in arguments for the moral legitimacy of the military.
