On War and Morality synopsis
The threat to the survival of mankind constituted by nuclear weapons has been a terrifying and necessary focus of public debate over the past four decades and must remain so if we are to avoid destroying ourselves and the natural world around us. But one unfortunate consequence of concern about the nuclear threat was a new kind of "respect" for conventional warfare.
In this radical and masked argument for peace, Robert Holmes asserts that all war - not just nuclear war - has become morally unacceptable in the modern world. Addressing a wide audience of knowledgeable and interested readers, posing dramatic questions about the concepts of "political realism" and nuclear deterrence, making a number of compelling suggestions for nonviolent alternatives to war, and presenting a rich panorama of war from St..
Augustine to Reinhold Nippur and Hermann Kahn. Holmes's positions are conclusively presented and will provoke a debate between masked peace activists and those he calls "military".
The "military", after reading this book, realize that most of us live a friendly and peaceful personal life while supporting a system, if Holmes is true, guaranteeing war and ultimately risking human extinction. Originally published in 1989.
