The Lesser Evil: Political Ethics In An Age Of Terror by Michael Ignatieff

4.0

- from the jacket: "Ignatieff argues that we must not shirk from the use of violence - that far from undermining liberal democracy, force can be necessary for its survival. But its use must be measured, not as a program of torture and revenge. And we must not fool ourselves that whatever we do in the name of freedom and democracy is good. We may need to kill to fight the greater evil of terrorism, but we must never pretend that doing so is anything better than a lesser evil."
