"Mapping a course for individuals, grassroots groups, voluntary associations, and religious organizations - and showing people how to fan the flames of peace - this bold new book challenges pacifists to be peacemakers and just war theorists to spell out the resorts that should be tried before the last. It explores our intentions to restore a just and enduring peace and what we must do."--BOOK JACKET.
