Description

Explore the deep connection between religious belief and military conflict in Ethics and the Gulf War: "Religion, Rhetoric, and Righteousness." Published by Routledge, this book examines how the battle for public opinion was fought alongside the physical war in Kuwait and Iraq. During the early 1990s, leaders like George Bush and Saddam Hussein used religious rhetoric to establish legitimacy for their actions. Kenneth Vaux provides a clear analysis of how both sides appealed to the just war theories found within their respective traditions. By looking at the conflict through a theological lens, the book helps readers understand the motivations and justifications used during this period of history. This work offers a wide-ranging look at the religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It evaluates key wartime events based on the rhetoric used by spokespersons and leaders, making it a valuable resource for those interested in how faith influences international relations and the perception of war.
