This book is organised in an interesting way. Each chapter is a case study of one particular common justification for killing. It is a real event, or in some chapters, a collection of events. I’ve encountered some of these stories before. Without preaching, or even guiding his readers’ reaction, Chris presents the case, then leaves us to make up our minds. In some places, his own convictions emerge, but by and large, he leaves things open, and thought-provoking.

I have a PhD in psychology. Although I have retired from my many years of counselling practice, I am fascinated by the inner view of people very different from me, in circumstances very different from mine. So, this approach spoke to me. I think it will speak to any intelligent, thoughtful, ethical person.

I can thoroughly recommend this book as fine reading.
