He led the Irish Brigade, a group of Irish-American soldiers, and fought in several key battles, including the Battle of Antietam and the Battle of Fredericksburg. After the war, Meagher was appointed governor of Montana Territory, where he worked to establish law and order and promote the rights of Native Americans.Cavanagh's book provides a detailed account of Meagher's life, from his early years in Ireland to his time in America, and explores the key events and people that shaped his career. The book also includes several letters and speeches written by Meagher himself, allowing readers to gain insight into his thoughts and beliefs. Overall, Memoirs of Gen.

In democratic societies, it is said that wars and military interventions are fought in the name of the citizens of the nation engaged in the conflict. Yet, ordinary citizens, the major stakeholders in war, are seldom provided with as much information for making and acting on their moral decisions about war as they are about many other national issues that affect them. To fill the void, this volume addresses the nature of conscience, various moral norms, a moral decision-making process, and the theoretical and practical issues involved in attempting to avoid war or at least to make it as moral as possible, considering its nature. By discussing how the morality of war differs from its political, military, economic and legal dimensions, this unique work attempts to enable citizens to make informed decisions about declaring, waging and ending war, and to act on those decisions.
