Since the early 1990s, Michael Ignatieff has traveled the world's war zones, from Bosnia to the West Bank, from Afghanistan to central Africa. The Warrior's 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 people's 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 Warrior's Honor is a profound and searching exploration of the perils and obligations of moral citizenship in a world scarred by war and genocide.
Titel: The Warrior's Honor

Sammendrag: Siden begyndelsen af 1990’erne har Michael Ignatieff rejst i nogle af verdens krigszoner for at forstå de nye former for etnisk konflikt. Han beskriver mødet med krigsherrer, paramilitære grupper og civile ofre og diskuterer fremkomsten af humanitære interventioner og idéen om globalt moralsk ansvar. Bogen er en analyse af krigens brutalitet og en refleksion over, hvad moderne samvittighed og medborgerskab betyder i en verden præget af folkemord og nationalisme.
