War is the Crime - E-book - ePub

All civilized societies outlaw murder as the ultimate crime against a human. So why is deliberate mass murder condoned as a legitimate means of resolving conflicts between nations?In this timely yet timeless book, the author of Refuse to be Afraid takes on the myths of the military industrial complex and calls for an end to war, the ultimate crime against humanity."How dare any so-called leader rain such agony down on other human beings?" Bluhm asks.
"Life, this precious fragile gift, should never be ended deliberately and violently, and how dare anyone inflict violent death on others and subject their loved ones to this deep grief?"I truly believe I am not alone in these thoughts and that perhaps a book like this might encourage anyone who might be filled with despair that constant war is inevitable. People want peace, so we ought to be working together toward that goal."War IS the Crime: Reflections on Peace and Nonviolence is the latest in a series of books collecting posts from Warren Bluhm's daily blog, also including A Bridge at Crossroads and Echoes of Freedom Past.
