Preface
"The galaxy has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.  We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living. Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.  This war in arms is not spending money alone.  It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.  This is not a way of life at all in any true sense.  Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. The most persistent sound which reverberates through men's history is the beating of war drums. There is but one mere factor that will stitch humanity into one, the emergence of a common enemy, and our enemy is the Covenant."
