Wallace explores ethical yet effective responses to violence, proposing nonviolent intervention (civilian peacekeeping) as a third option for protecting civilians during humanitarian crises. This book addresses a diverse range of literatures and debates, and is both philosophically innovative and practically useful for those working in the field.
