Editorial Reviews
Review
Anybody concerned with avoiding nuclear annihilation, and with world peace in general, will find a treasure trove in this book. The voices of those who have created and led Peace Action groups not only provide valuable recent history but convey the kind of passionate wisdom that needs to be applied to our present world. --Dr. Robert J. Lifton, author of Death in Life: Survivors of Hiroshima
Peace Action represents the very thing that motivated me to join Shirley Chisholm's campaign and get involved in politics in the first place the desire not simply to advocate for progressive policies, but to change the way the political system works by giving people a voice in the legislative process. --U.S. Representative Barbara Lee (D-California), from the Foreword
This timely book recalls the difference SANE/Freeze made in slowing the nuclear arms race, reflects on lessons learned, and encourages us to renew our work for a saner, more peaceful world. The essays on the participation of women, faith communities, and grass-roots organizing are a refreshing addition to the history of Peace Action. --Pamela K. Brubaker, California Lutheran University, author of Globalization at What Price?
Product Description
Peace Action: Past, Present, and Future is a collection of short, lively essays written by prominent leaders and supporters of Peace Action and its two important predecessors the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy and the Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign. Just in time for its 50th anniversary, Peace Action brings together reflections on the largest and most influential peace organization in history. At the same time, this book provides a unique resource for understanding popular protest against nuclear weapons and war in the modern era. It illuminates the local, national, and international role of Peace Action today and outlines Peace Action's strategies for the future, including ongoing protest against the war in Iraq and a negotiated resolution of nuclear issues in Iran and North Korea.
