"A Time to Kill" Reflections on War DENNY ROY, GRANT P. SKABELUND, and RAY C. HILLAM, EDITORS Paperback. 280 Pages. / 0-941214-97-4 / $12.95 At a time when world events favor peace over violence, "A Time to Kill": Reflections on War reminds us of the painful dilemmas of men forced to choose between religion and bloodshed. This collection of personal accounts of Latter-day Saint war veterans reveals how members of one religious tradition have justified combat despite beliefs about the immorality of murder. It describes, in sometimes graphic detail, the horrors of battle, death camps, and the killing of innocent and guilty alike. When is killing acceptable; when does it become sin? Is war ever a necessary solution to the differences that separate humanity? "A Time to Kill" poignantly illustrates some of the ways individuals within the Mormon tradition have attempted to answer these and other questions. Denny Roy is a Ph.D. candidate in political science at the University of Chicago.
Ray C. Hillam is professor of political science at Brigham Young University and director of the David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies. |
