To address this issue, experts from various disciplines have come together to write this open-access book, which reflects on confrontations with violence under extreme conditions and the various challenges that arise.
By examining real first-hand accounts of soldiers' deployments, the contributions shed new light on the multifaceted and often hidden dynamics of destructive violent behavior. They offer an ethical reflection on military practices, addressing topics such as moral decision-making in violent contexts, military trauma, organizational change, and military ethics education.
