Description :

For residents of the twenty-first century,a vision of a future without warfare is almost inconceivable. Though wars are terrible and destructive, they also seem unavoidable, in this original and deeply considered book, A.C.Grayling examines, tests and challenges the concepts of war, He proposes that a deeper, more accurate understanding of war may enable us to reduce its frequency, mitigate its horrors, and lessen the burden of its consequence.

Grayling explores the long, tragic history of war and how warfare has changed in response to technological advances. He probes much-debated theories concerning the causes of war and considers positive changes that may result from war.How might these results be achieved without violence? In a profoundly wise conclusion, grayling envision 'just war theory' in new moral terms, taking into account the lessons of the Second Wold War and the Holocaust and laying down ethical principles for going to war and for conduct during war.

A.C.GRAYLING is master of the New College of the Humanities, and a supernumerary fellow of St.Anne's College, Oxford. He is active in the field of human rights and conflict intervention and has written or edited more than thirty books.
