Recenzje

This collection arrives during radical, global re-thinking. Just as structures of inequality, violence, and environmental destruction are being shaken, the authors expose a falsehood that has helped lead to these harms. Humanity has never accepted a free right to resort to war. Sophisticated law to prohibit armed conflict did not spring up in the mid-20th century. With this and other errors exposed, the book moves us toward renewal of the law of peace we so urgently need.
