New Releases by DESMOND TUTU

With the winning of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984, Desmond Tutu joined Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mother Teresa as on of the great inspirational leaders of our age. Chosen and introduced by his daughter Naomi, the over 100 selections from his speeches, sermons, and writings collected here explore topics such as: faith and social responsibility, nuclear disarmament, the Church’s role in resisting oppression, family, the Third World, and women in the Church. Also included is a chronology of Tutu’s life, illuminating his tireless work on behalf of blacks under Apartheid, and the full text of the Archbishop’s acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Carnegie Commission on Preventing Deadly Conflict invited five world leaders, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, George Bush, Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Desmond Tutu, to consider leadership and preventing deadly conflict. Each offers a different perspective, yet all conclude that an individual leader''s choices are crucial to creating the conditions that enhance or undermine peace. This volume highlights the capacities of international leaders. These leaders can help mobilize great financial or military resources, build international coalitions, and create a constituency for prevention. The Commission believes that prevention should be on the agenda of every head of state and government meeting and all foreign and defense ministerial gatherings. The international community should champion and reward good governance, especially in countries struggling towards greater democracy. International leaders can call attention to the problem of intergroup violence and tap into latent public inclination toward prevention. They have the scope to explain the need for prevention. They can help build the political will necessary to mount an effective response to complex emergencies and to help people prevent violence before it erupts. Addressing this point in his essay, former United Nations Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali highlights the need for vision, communication, and cooperation.
