The Warrior's Honor: Ethnic War and the Modern Conscience

Since the early 1990s Michael Ignatieff has traveled the worlds war zones from Bosnia to the West Bank from Afghanistan to central Africa. The Warriors Honor is a report and a reflection on what he has seen in the places where ethnic war has become a way of life. Ignatieff charts the rise of the new moral interventionists--the relief workers reporters delegates and diplomats who believe that other peoples misery is of concern to us all. And he brings us face-to-face with the new ethnic warriors--the warlords gunmen and paramilitaries--who have escalated postmodern war to an unprecedented level of savagery. Hard-hitting and passionate The Warriors Honor is a profound and searching exploration of the perils and obligations of moral citizenship in a world scarred by war and genocide.
