This groundbreaking book delivers the definitive exploration of assassination as a tool of power, control, and statecraft. The Killing Doctrine goes beyond a historical recounting of targeted killings to offer a profound analysis of the human, political, and societal impacts of assassination across centuries. A must-read for historians, political analysts, intelligence professionals, and those interested in international relations, this work unravels the mechanics, ethics, and consequences of state-sanctioned killing in meticulous detail. Drawing from a comprehensive range of case studies—from medieval Hashshashin operations to modern drone strikes—the book examines how assassination shapes political systems, suppresses dissent, protects economic interests, and influences international stability. Readers are guided through key moments in history, such as the assassinations of Patrice Lumumba, Salvador Allende, and targeted operations during the War on Terror, highlighting how these actions perpetuate cycles of violence, destabilization, and moral ambiguity. With an interdisciplinary approach spanning history, political science, intelligence studies, and ethics, The Killing Doctrine provides: In-Depth Case Studies: Analysis of high-profile assassinations and covert operations led by the CIA, Mossad, KGB, SDECE, and more. Tactical and Strategic Insights: A detailed look at the methods and motivations behind state-sponsored killings. Psychological and Societal Impact: How assassination creates fear, erodes trust, and reshapes political legitimacy. Ethical Reflections: A critical examination of the moral and legal dilemmas posed by targeted killings. More than just a historical analysis, this book offers transformative scholarship that redefines how assassination is understood in contemporary geopolitics. It challenges readers to confront the paradoxes of modern statecraft and the fragile balance between security and morality. Whether you are a student of history, a policy-maker, an intelligence analyst, or simply a reader intrigued by the hidden mechanisms of power, The Killing Doctrine is an essential addition to your library.

Jeff McMahan urges us to reject the view, dominant throughout history, that mere participation in an unjust war is not wrong. He argues powerfully that combatants who fight for an unjust cause are acting wrongly and are themselves morally responsible for their actions. We must rethink our attitudes to the moral role of the individual in war.

In Justified Killing, Whitley R. P. Kaufman argues that none of the leading theories adequately explains why it is permissible even to kill an innocent attacker in self-defense, given the basic moral prohibition against killing the innocent. Kaufman suggests that such an explanation can be found in the traditional Doctrine of Double Effect, according to which self-defense is justified because the intention of the defender is to protect himself rather than harm the attacker.

Do individuals have a positive right of self-defence? And if so, what are the limits of this right? Under what conditions, if any, does this use of force extend to the defence of others? These are some of the issues explored by Dr Uniacke in this comprehensive philosophical discussion of the principles relevant to self-defence as a moral and legal justification of homicide. She establishes a unitary right of self-defence and defence of others, one which grounds the permissibility of the use of necessary and proportionate defensive force against culpable and non-culpable, active and passive, unjust threats. Particular topics discussed include: the nature of moral and legal justification and excuse; natural law justifications of homicide in self-defence; the Principle of Double Effect and the claim that homicide in self-defence is justified as unintended killing; and the question of self-preferential killing. This is a lucid and sophisticated account of the complex notion of justification, revolving around a critical discussion of recent trends in the law of self-defence.

TERMINAL SEDATION DURING THE 1990s During the 1990s a discussion took place in scholarly journals concerning a measure within palliative care that had earlier attracted little attention, to wit, the sedation of dying patients. There seem to have been two main reasons why the practice came under debate. On the one hand, some people felt that, when palliative medicine had advanced and methods to control symptoms had improved, it was no longer justified to sedate the patients in a manner that had often been done in the past. The system of 1 terminal sedation had turned into ‘euthanasia in disguise’ or ‘slow euthanasia’. On the other hand, there were people sympathetic to the recently established Dutch system of euthanasia, people who agreed that terminal sedation was euthanasia in disguise, but who felt that, if it is not objectionable to sedate dying patients at their request, then why should it not be permitted for doctors to kill dying patients at 2 request? From these two motives a discussion about terminal sedation gained momentum. The intention behind this anthology is to continue and deepen this discussion. The anthology starts off with a chapter where an influential article from the 1990s has been reprinted.

This open access book is the culmination of many years of research on what happened to the bodies of executed criminals in the past. Focusing on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it looks at the consequences of the 1752 Murder Act. These criminal bodies had a crucial role in the history of medicine, and the history of crime, and great symbolic resonance in literature and popular culture. Starting with a consideration of the criminal corpse in the medieval and early modern periods, chapters go on to review the histories of criminal justice, of medical history and of gibbeting under the Murder Act, and ends with some discussion of the afterlives of the corpse, in literature, folklore and in contemporary medical ethics. Using sophisticated insights from cultural history, archaeology, literature, philosophy and ethics as well as medical and crime history, this book is a uniquely interdisciplinary take on a fascinating historical phenomenon.

Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.
