Review

"Roche's voice gives a clear, vital message: peace is possible but not without significant changes in Canadian and international policy." Joyce Hildebrand, EnCompass Magazine

From the Publisher

Today, housing, health, and education services are desperately needed for the world's poorest people, but instead governments spend billions on war. With six billion people on the earth, social justice sometimes seems farther off than ever. Senator Douglas Roche envisions a new future, with increased awareness of key global issues, where bread, not bombs, is the priority.

Senator Roche's strong belief that human security is possible is complemented by a persuasive agenda for the 21st century. First, the international community must build the conditions for peace through nuclear disarmament. Second, nations must Co-operate to ensure equitable economic and social development. He foresees Canada taking a crucial role, building on its international reputation as a peacemaker.
