Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This moving dialogue between an American and a Japanese peace activist makes the compelling argument that ordinary people can and must guide their leaders to a safer and saner future free from a nuclear menace. This balance of Western and Eastern perspectives reveals how the development of true peace can grow only when narrow national loyalties are surpassed by a shared global vision. Inspiring examples of individuals working for an end to the nuclear threat showcase the role everyday people can play in the quest for peace. Particular encouragement is given to young people to build on their natural idealism to shape the world they will inherit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help eliminate the threat of nuclear war, November 13, 2002
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Choose Hope: Your Role In Waging Peace In The Nuclear Age by David Krieger (President of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation) and Daisaku Ikeda (President of the Soka Gakkai International and recipient of the 1983 United Nations Peace Award), is an uplifting, inspiring, and practical inquiry into what ordinary people can do to help eliminate the threat of nuclear war. Individual chapters address the critical importance of nongovernmental organizations, the future of the United Nations, the lessons of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and much, much more. Choose Hope is a highly recommended reading for anyone concerned with the proliferation of nuclear weapons technology and the resultant, globally engaging threat of nuclear warfare in these troubled times.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book should be retitled "Choose Peace!", December 20, 2003
By Raheim Baltazar (West Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Yeah, choose Peace. This is the heart of Nichiren Buddhism----which is what SGI President Daisaku Ikeda practices. This book, Choose Hope, is a fantastic analysis on humanism and democracy. What's more is how we as human beings should be thinking of ways how to prevent war, not to extend it or prepare when it happens. As strongly emphasized by this book, preventing war/conflict is the absolute purpose of humanity.

1st Soka Gakkai President Makiguchi once taught during World War 2 that our objective must to prolong peace and to think of means to prevent it... not to find means to harm others and harm our nation---which in turn harms our world.

Purcahse this book and learn of the compiled humanistic values expounded by Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Daisaku Ikeda. It's worth every cent of your penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some factual background about the co-author, June 17, 2003
By A Customer
The co-author of this book, Daisaku Ikeda, is the president of a lay Buddhist organization called Sokka Gakai International(SGI). Weather a person practices buddhism or not the facts speak for themselve. SGI with Mr. Ikeda's leadership has help millions of people live happy productive lives and the world is a better place for it. As for the born again Christians who want to bring their Bibles to Buddhist meetings so they can proselytize their own faith I say this. Your waisting your time and your efforts are not appreciated. Have a great day.
