SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Stephen Nathanson argues that we cannot have morally credible views about terrorism if we neglect broader issues about the ethics of war. Challenging the realist view that morality does not apply to war, he provides an analysis of what makes terrorism morally wrong and a rule-utilitarian defence of noncombatant immunity
