Since the early 1990s, Michael Ignatieff has traveled the world's war zones, from Bosnia to the West Bank, from Afghanistan to central Africa. The Warrior's Honor is a report and a reflection on what he has seen in the places where ethnic war has become a way of life.
In a series of vivid portraits, Ignatieff charts the rise of the new moral interventionists - the aid workers, reporters, peacekeepers, Red Cross delegates, and diplomats - who believe that other people's misery, no matter how far away, is of concern to us all. He brings us face-to-face with the new ethnic warriors - the warlords, gunmen, and paramilitary forces - who have escalated postmodern war to an unprecedented level of savagery.
From the encounter of these two groups, he draws dramatic and startling realizations about the ambiguous ethics of engagement, the limited force of moral justice in a world of war, and the inevitable clash between those who defend tribal and national loyalties and those who speak the universal language of human rights.

Edition Notes
Un essai sur les limites de l'engagement moral des démocraties occidentales face aux conflits et aux guerres ethniques. L'auteur tente d'expliquer la multiplication de celles-ci malgré la fin de la guerre froide et d'une soi-disant paix mondiale. Il secoue notre conscience et nous provoque face aux contradictions qui se cachent sous nos principes, à la faiblesse de nos engagements, à notre division et à notre cynisme pour défendre la liberté des peuples.
