We now have the capacity to turn our abundant earth into a dead planet. To avoid that risk, we need to examine the often unrecognised impulses that drive us to war. This book sounds that alarm. Although a work of fiction, it deals with real events in the sometimes less than peaceful Pacific. It is set in the sublimely beautiful Solomon Islands which, for most of us, are very remote. But some passions are global. This book examines why we go to war and why some, so readily, urge others to do so. It seeks to explain, not just to record.
