Paperback. What action should we take when a government is oppressing, even killing, its citizens? Is force 'the only language a tyrant understands?' It is right to go to war? Is it effective?

Writers with considerable experience in peacekeeping, peacemaking and peacebuilding describe some of the options: military peacekeeping, international criminal law, support for local peace, initiatives, work for political change, and strengthening the international institutions. One chapter considers the role the mass media play in wartime, and another describes the hidden costs of war. The book is for the reader with no specialist knowledge.

Two chapters focus on our personal opportunities as citizens to promote just and peaceful solitions. 139 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
