I put it in cans and ship it abroad.\" That pursuit of peace took him to Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, and many places in between during Serwer's forty years in public service. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis experiences at the sharp end of foreign policy have shaped his view of the United States' ability to protect itself from today's threats. In \u003ci\u003eRighting the Balance\u003c\/i\u003e, Serwer focuses on what should be done to protect the United States by offering alternatives that move away from an exclusive reliance on the military. Most fundamentally, Serwer stresses that civilians--diplomats, aid workers, UN officials, humanitarians, police trainers, lawyers, judges, entrepreneurs--can and should be involved in helping bring about peace. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRighting the Balance\u003c\/i\u003e offers a proposal to reform our civilian institutions for the twenty-first century so that they can help deliver real results in the search for peace even when confronting difficult conditions in faraway places.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Serwer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612346669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612346663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Potomac Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daniel Serwer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47474154143999,"sku":"9781612346663","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a526f5f4-aa1d-4003-895e-21ecc6357bfa.jpg?v=1762315166","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/righting-the-balance-daniel-serwer-9781612346663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
