This study of collectively perpetrated atrocities examines the tension between responding to evils and preserving humanitarian values. A provocative contribution to philosophical ethics, it analyses torture, terrorism and genocide in the light of recent events, and argues that understanding these evils enables us to recognise similar evils in everyday life.
