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.
