Purchase options and add-ons

Veteran scholar and peace activist David Cortright offers a definitive history of the human striving for peace and an analysis of its religious and intellectual roots. This authoritative, balanced, and highly readable volume traces the rise of peace advocacy and internationalism from their origins in earlier centuries through the mass movements of recent decades: the pacifist campaigns of the 1930s, the Vietnam antiwar movement, and the waves of disarmament activism that peaked in the 1980s. Also explored are the underlying principles of peace - nonviolence, democracy, social justice, and human rights - all placed within a framework of 'realistic pacifism'. Peace brings the story up-to-date by examining opposition to the Iraq War and responses to the so-called 'war on terror'. This is history with a modern twist, set in the context of current debates about 'the responsibility to protect', nuclear proliferation, Darfur, and conflict transformation.

    I am so impressed by his commitment to seeking out non-violent solutions to all situations. He is a star in the peacebuilding world and his research is first rate. I recommend this book to everyone who wants peace in this world.

    This is largely an attack on the idea of ending all wars and an appeal to make distinctions and only end certain wars.

    The book was well written, well researched, incredibly referenced, objectively provided views from both the right and left, extremely current and well worth the read. The Amazon purchase process was flawless with no issues. I rate with a Green Light.

    5.0 out of 5 stars There is now way to peace, peace is the way!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2008
    If you care about your family, friends, community, city, state, country and most importantly, our world, read this book. If you've ever worried about the direction our country has taken, especially the violent, militaristic route since 9/11, you will find viable alternatives in this book.

    From laypeople and students, all the way to scholars, policy-makers and business leaders, this book is a must-read for everyone. It is a pragmatic, thoroughly researched, objective and honest account of the history of nonviolent action and peace ideas struggling against incredible odds. Cortright has once again managed magnificently to write a book that is concise, understandable, and above all, a very good read.

    The first chapter is titled, "What is peace?" All of us conjure up an answer of what peace is which originates from an interpretation of our personal experiences and those of others. Cortright has taken the experiences of the many and answers the question, "what is peace?" in a way that might challenge, and change your answer.

    In our troubled world with destabilizing threats facing the security of our families to our world, we cannot sit idly by. Alternatives to solve these problems do exist. If you believe we are on the wrong path, (a burning question for me is how can the US spend more on our Pentagon budget annually - which does not include the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan - than the entire world combined, yet I feel less secure than ever before), and you are willing to open your mind to an alternative way, I believe you have come to the right book.
