Recenzii
Putting ethics to pastoral use, Marc LiVecche deploys 'just war' reasoning to distinguish morally right acts of killing from morally wrong ones, so as to relieve combat veterans of guilt they should not feel. Resolved to look them in the eye, his lucid thinking keeps close company with their vivid experience. The topic is important, the analysis illuminating, and the writing engaging. The Good Kill is a very good book."
LiVecche provides an invaluable contribution... In addition to a rich accounting of leading psychological literature on moral injury, LiVecche provides graphic and moving first-hand battlefield accounts, testimonies of the lingering guilt that some soldiers feel about the violence that they saw or participated in."
The Good Kill is a critical reconstruction of Christian just war ethics with a novel focus on military moral injury and the promotion of human flourishing. In building his case, LiVecche paints a compelling image of the just warrior as a mournful warrior...This is an important book for...anyone interested in understanding better a warfighter's complex moral reckoning with killing in war."
LiVecche artfully links contemporary psychology with ancient philosophical and theological wisdom, mixed with the testimony of veterans and insights of military ethicists... Highly recommended reading for soldiers and military instructors, as well as chaplains, veteran welfare workers and military ethicists."
