Covenants without Swords examines an enduring tension
within liberal theory: that between many liberals’ professed
commitment to universal equality on the one hand, and their
historic support for the politics of hierarchy and empire on
the other. It does so by examining the work of two extremely
influential British liberals and internationalists, Gilbert
Murray and Alfred Zimmern.
