Today, more than ever, we need virtuous, competent warriors to serve in our military, law enforcement and many other fields. It is my hope that this book can assist them.
Still, I hope there is much in this book that will be of service to the gentle, decent and discerning spirits in the peace movement who have been able to use 'On Killing' to study and understand the nature of the battlefield. As I said in 'On Killing,' our objective must be: '...no judgment, no condemnation, just the remarkable power of understanding.'"

I haven't read both, but this is a certainly a stand-alone book. (less)
