Military Medical Ethics in Contemporary Armed Conflict: Mobilizing Medicine in the Pursuit of Just War
Gross, Michael L. (Professor of Political Science and past Head of the School of Political Science, Professor of Political Science and past Head of the School of Political Science, University of Haifa, Israel)
Integrating the ethics of medicine and the ethics of war, Military Medical Ethics in Contemporary Armed Conflict offers theorists and practitioners, clinicians and commanders the tools they need to distribute scarce medical resources in wartime. Emphasizing that military medicine's goal is to maintain unit readiness and the force capabilities necessary to wage just war, Michael L. Gross instructs readers on when and how compatriot and host nation warfighters, local civilians, detainees, and veterans should receive medical attention. Readers will see how medicine functions also as a weapon of war. To this end, military forces deploy medical care to win local hearts and minds and harness medical science to enhance war fighter capabilities.
