Overview
- A topic that has thus far not been treated at book length and nowhere nearly as comprehensively
- Extremely timely and highly current
- Unique and broad basis for dealing with issues that not only impact on medical ethics, but cut across various spheres of justice in a setting defined by the multiple perspectives of medical, military and legal practice
- Unique in its treatment of the subject matter, which hitherto has only been done in a fragmented and isolated manner
Part of the book series: International Library of Ethics, Law, and the New Medicine (LIME, volume 41)

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Physicians at war: The dual-loyalties challenge is a collection of essays which provide philosophical, political, and legal perspectives on many of the conflicting obligations which physicians may face during times of armed conflict. … valuable for anyone who is concerned about the role and obligations of physicians in national security/defense issues. … this book has important implications for other areas of medicine were physicians find themselves called upon to use their medical skills and knowledge in service of the state." (Jason Gatliff, Journal of Bioethical Inquiry, Vol. 6, 2009)
