Under what conditions is violence justified To answer this deeply troubling question, William T. Vollmann spent two decades consulting hundreds of sources and scrutinizing the thinking of philosophers, theologians, tyrants, warlords, military strategists, activists, and pacifists. He also visited more than a dozen countries and war zones, to witness violence firsthand-sometimes barely escaping with his life. The result is a breathtakingly ambitious, deeply personal book that concludes with a compilation of the author's findings: a synopsis that is his moral calculus.
