First, a hypothetical "case" is presented. This case is followed by a "dispute" in the form of a dialogue that points out salient ethical issues in an intuitive way. Next is a discussion of "concepts", which brings major ethical issues to bear. Then, "analysis" shows what decisions could ultimately be reached based from both consequentialist and nonconsequentialist perspectives. Finally, each chapter ends

In 1981 ten men starved themselves to death inside the walls of Long Kesh prison in Belfast. While a stunned world watched and distraught family members kept bedside vigils, one "soldier" after another slowly went to his death in an attempt to make Margaret Thatcher’s government recognize them as political prisoners rather than common criminals.Drawing extensively on secret IRA documents and letters from the prisoners smuggled out at the time, David Beresford tells the gripping story of these strikers and their devotion to the cause. An intensely human story, Ten Men Dead offers a searin

The Japanese, on the other hand, had secured a well-defended perimeter, and was set for further expansion. Something needed to happen quickly and be of considerable impact-and the combined-arms, April 1942 Doolittle Raid on Japan was a way to achieve this. This book examines the planning, execution, and aftermath of this innovative, daring and risky attack,
