Die Tötung Unschuldiger

We live in a world full of dangers. Human life is at risk from criminal dictatorships, terrorist attacks, technical disasters and catastrophes of various kinds. In an emergency, is it legitimate to counter such perils if that means that innocent life has to be taken or put at risk of death? The book gives a moral philosopher's response to this politically, ethically and legally controversial question.
