War: A Crime Against Humanity
By Roberto Vivo
Genre: Nonfiction
War: A Crime Against Humanity is a fascinating history of
war and the search for enduring world peace. Roberto Vivo deftly guides the
reader through the history of war and peace, from early civilizations to the
major conflicts and peace efforts of today. The book zeros in on the historical
moments that have shaped the practice of war in dozens of examples, from the
ancient Greeks to Cambodia to Rwanda, and juxtaposes such examples with our
best experiments in peace.
Vivo then draws on the history of movements to outlaw
practices such as apartheid and slavery to build a case for criminalizing the
use of war and holding world leaders accountable for initiating conflicts
before the International Criminal Court.
His outspoken criticism of the politics and industry of war
is tempered by a profound optimism about what people can learn from history and
what we can achieve together. War: A Crime Against
Humanity is not another diatribe against the status quo; it
is an inspiring and profoundly hopeful vision of the future we can dare to create.
