| Summary/Abstract |
This concordance of the standard English translation of Carl von Clausewitz's On War by Michael Howard and Peter Paret breaks new ground in two important respects. First, it indexes the text in unprecedented detail by listing references to every significant proposition and distinctive phrase under major subject headings. Second, information about the location of indexed items includes the book and chapter of On War, and page numbers in both current editions of the standard translation.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article introduces the problem of having to risk one's life for the state in war, asking first why this question is no longer asked in the just war literature and then suggesting five issues that relate to this question: 1) that of individual consent, 2) whether or not any state can be justified in obliging its citizens in this regard and whether or not the type of government is important, 3) whether or not the problem of the obligation differs between conscript and volunteer armies, 4) the problem of political obligation and how any individual could be justifiably obliged to risk his or her life for the state in war, and 5) the question of whether a citizen may be obliged to go into any war. The argument is that these questions are no longer given much attention in the just war literature because of the way that the concept of proper authority has come to be understood. The article concludes by suggesting that the problem of the 'obligation to die' should be included in our understanding and use of just war theory and the ethics of war.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article argues that the 1991 Gulf War had a deep transformative effect on
Saudi Arabia. It aims to analyze the extent to which this war brought about major ideological
changes to a society seemingly deemed unchangeable. Through the study of three
Saudi novels which drew on this war as a source of creative and political inspiration, this
study brings to life Saudi people’s discussions, dilemmas, and reactions to the crumbling
of the edifice of Arab unity and the emergence of “America” in its place as the “savior”
from the evil of Saddam Hussein. We contend that despite resistance from various conservative
elements of Saudi society, the winds of change brought by this war could not be
resisted. The novels under study skillfully portray the events of this war not as battlefield
accounts, but as accounts of a society wrestling with an irresistible wind of change.
