Reviews
Defensive Killing is a scintillating exemplar of contemporary moral philosophy. Though its conclusions are at times bracing, Frowe's subtlety and intellectual honesty are unmatched ... It is a pathbreaking contribution not only to the ethics of war, but to deontological moral theory. * Seth Lazar, Australian National University *
a sophisticated and meticulously argued wake-up call ... Frowe's book clearly deserves a privileged place in the pantheon of works on the morality of war ... It is required reading for anyone interested in contemporary theories of defensive violence and the morality of war. * Australasian Journal of Philosophy *
Frowe's intricately argued, insightful, and challenging book. I have benefited enormously from thinking as carefully as I am able about the positions she defends and the arguments she gives for them. I am confident that the same will be true of others who read this splendid book. * Jeff McMahan, Ethics *
