The book's position

• Blog – Agree or disagree on this book’s position about war.

I disagree with the book’s position about war that war is inherently evil. Because while war is an evil, it is a necessary evil for the survival of peaceful civilizations. There is, at least in my opinon, such a thing as just war a war that is fought to preserve and protect what is good in the world, instead of one intending to conquer and destroy it for the gain of an elite few. That being said the book presents a good reason why war should be used only when it is just or unavoidable. I think the book points out the value of human life and how it is too often squandered by politicians for special interests or abstract concepts like freedom and liberty.
