When Violence Is Virtue: Reflections on Combat and Character - Paperback
by Adam McLain (Author)
Peace is not given. It is claimed by those willing to stand in the crucible on behalf of those who are unable or unwilling to act. In a world desperate for peace at any cost, the hard truth is that peace is often paid for in blood.
When Violence Is Virtue is a concise book, meant to hit hard. Every page is packed with ideas to dwell on. It isn't about glorifying war or violence; it explores the fragile divide between strength and mercy, peace and peril, courage and restraint. Drawn from the realities of war, and moments that strip away all illusion, Adam McLain reveals that true virtue sometimes demands a steady readiness to meet violence with resolve.
