Is war ever a just way to resolve conflict? Diana Francis argues
that it is not. With passion and eloquence, she mounts a head-on
challenge to the belief that war as an institution is either
necessary or effective for good. Refuting the notion that human
nature condemns us to perpetual carnage, she argues that we can
change the ways we think and the systems we live by. In a tightly
reasoned discussion of the ethics of war and peace she asserts that
war is a gross denial of the core values on which peace depends,
and that the Just War Theory has failed and deceived us. The book
explores alternative ways of confronting aggression and injustice,
showing that these are neglected but well proven. Francis argues
that our security can be enhanced by recognition of our shared
responsibility for each other and our planet. Practical solutions
require a new level of participation in public affairs. Recent
events have shown that this is possible. Francis outlines the steps
we must take to bring about the radical shift so urgently needed.
