America and the Just War Tradition: A History of U.S. Conflicts

Edited by Mark David Hall and J. Daryl Charles

Foreword by James Turner Johnson This collection of essays examines and evaluates each of America’s major wars from a just war perspective. Using moral analysis anchored in the just war tradition, the contributors provide careful historical analysis evaluating individual conflicts.

“This collection has the capacity to be the reference point for just war theory in relation to American wars from colonial origins to today. It deserves a wide readership. The editors are extremely knowledgeable and their arguments cohere.”—Harry Stout, Jonathan Edwards Professor of American Religious History, Yale University Pub Mar. 2019. 6 x 9 in. 338 pp. Notre Dame Press 978-0-268-10526-6 P/$35.00

Treason on Trial: The United States v. Jefferson Davis

Robert Icenhauer-Ramirez “Robert Icenhauer-Ramirez’s account of the Jefferson Davis treason trial—which ought to have been ‘the trial of the century’ but wasn’t—is as absorbing a Civil War story as any battlefield narrative .... Thorough in his judgments about the role of the Lost Cause, the 14th Amendment, and military tribunals, he gives us an enthralling rendering of American law at its best and its worst.” —Allen C. Guelzo, author of Gettysburg: The Last Invasion Pub June 2019. 6 x 9 in. 368 pp. Louisiana State Univ. Press 978-0-8071-7080-9 C/$55.00
