Book Overview

The Right To Fight: The Moral Grounds Of War is a book written by Sherwood Eddy and originally published in 1918. The book explores the ethical and moral justifications for engaging in war, particularly in the context of World War I. Eddy argues that war can be a necessary and justifiable means of defending one's country and protecting the values of freedom and democracy. He also examines the role of religion in war, arguing that Christianity supports the idea of a just war. The book provides a historical perspective on the concept of war and its place in society, and offers insights into the moral dilemmas that arise when nations engage in armed conflict. Overall, The Right To Fight is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the moral grounds of war, and remains relevant today in the ongoing debates over the use of military force.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
