Shriver shows that the concept of forgiveness, long relegated to the realm of the personal, is surprisingly relevant and important to political life. He uses three examples from recent American history - our relations with Germany and Japan, and the civil rights struggle - to show the importance of forgiveness in overcoming the traditional hatreds that threaten to cripple our society.

Sometimes a book appears at precisely the right time. Shriver's An Ethic for Enemies: Forgiveness in Politics should be required reading for political leaders, educators, clergy, the media and so-called ordinary citizens ... Shriver brilliantly describes whu and how human conflicts can be successfully resolved ... Shriver's hard-headed realism about radical evil prevents him from offering naive sermons that simply condemn the enmity that exists among individuals, groups and nations. Shriver lives in the real world along with the rest of us.
