Gender's place
This book, considered a must read in the field of just war theory, left me unimpressed. Everything is based on a system of morality that is never really explained save for an unexplained theory of rights that people supposedly have under various circumstances. Where do these rights come from?
The short of it is, I'm never going to buy the argument that people attacked have to put their own in harm's way for the sake of the attackers. The agent problem is worth deep consideration (can we hold a people accountable for their government's actions?) but Walzer does not even come close to answering it in an acceptable way.
Sherman was right; war is hell. Walzer never really answers the big question: what benefit do we gain by fighting in accordance his "moral" ideas of war? Without an answer, this is all just so much fluffery.
That all said, Walzer does write very well and raises many, many questions that need to be examined. This is a very complex subject. Walzer will make you think, especially if you disagree with him.
