This is a really great, succinct body of work on interfaith perspectives on pacifism. It does a good job highlighting some of the more extreme views (just war vs. absolute pacifism) in the differing faiths. What is nice about this particular book is it rather short but really does encompass the prevailing views. I used this book and 15 others for a research project and I quoted from this several times despite its short length. If you need a rundown of interfaith perspectives on this subject, this really is a great book.
