Raimond Gaita brings together a thought-provoking collection of essays by public intellectuals on the subject of conflict. The book is a companion to a series of lectures of the same name held in 2009 at the Australian Catholic University. Following the Israeli Army invasion of the Gaza Strip, Australians are left with questions of law, morality and politics; a minefield of ethical dilemmas to challenge the moral code we live by. Among the contributors are Mark Baker, Gerri Simpson, Ghassan Hage, Geoffrey Levey and Raimond Gaita - historians, international law experts, a sociologist and a philosopher.
