Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prominent American historian Robert D. Schulzinger sheds light on how deeply etched memories of the devastating conflict in Vietnam have altered America's political, social, and cultural landscape. Schulzinger examines the impact of the war from many angles. He ranges from the heated controversy over soldiers who were missing in action, to the influx of over a million Vietnam refugees into the US, to the many ways the war has continued to be fought in books and films and, perhaps most important, the power of the Vietnam War as a metaphor influencing foreign policy in places like Iraq.

Download or read book A Natural History of Peace written by Thomas Gregor and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stimulating and innovative consideration of the concept, causes, and practice of peace in societies both ancient and modern, human and primate. We know a great deal about aggression, conflict, and war, but relatively little about peace, partially because it has been such a scarce phenomenon throughout history and in our own times. Peace is more than the absence of war. Peace requires special relationships, structures, and attitudes to promote and protect it. A Natural History of Peace provides the first broadly interdisciplinary examination of peace as viewed from the perspectives of social anthropology, primatology, archeology, psychology, political science, and economics. Among other notable features, this volume offers: a major theory concerning the evolution of peace and violence through human history; an in-depth comparative study of peaceful cultures with the goal of discovering what it is that makes them peaceful; one of the earliest reports of a new theory of the organization and collapse of ancient Maya civilization; a comparative examination of peace from the perspective of change, including the transition of one of the world's most violent societies to a relatively peaceful culture, and the decision-making process of terrorists who abandon violence; and a theory of political change that sees the conclusion of wars as uniquely creative periods in the evolution of peace among modern nations.
Download or read book History of Peace written by David Hoicka and published by Singapore Mediation Solutions. This book was released on 1920 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of Peace demonstrates from 4500 years of history, and case studies of more than 100 treaties resolving armed conflicts, that even when peace seems impossible, peace may still be possible. Even when the going seems hopeless, and the night is dark, hope is not yet lost. History shows that again and again, peace can break out from the darkest of nights. From ancient Mesopotamia to modern-day peace processes, this groundbreaking book explores humanity's enduring quest for peace. "History of Peace" offers profound insights into how mediators - from world leaders to grassroots peacemakers - have helped resolve armed conflicts, save lives, rebuild communities, and foster economic growth through the power of dialogue and negotiation, over the thousands of years from the beginnings of recorded time. Read about: · The Treaty of Mesilim (c. 2550 BCE) – Mesilim, king of the Sumerian city-state of Kish, mediated a land and water boundary dispute between the nearby south Babylonian cities of Lagash and Umma · The Treaty of Kadesh (1259 BCE) between Egypt and the Hittites, negotiated by intermediaries, established one of the earliest known mutual defense pacts · The Peace of Westphalia (1648), facilitated by papal mediation, revolutionized international relations by introducing the concept of state sovereignty · The Congress of Vienna (1815) reshaped Europe after the Napoleonic Wars, with Talleyrand's skilled mediation creating a balance of power that lasted nearly a century · The Treaty of Versailles (1919) ended World War I but sowed seeds for future conflict, highlighting the importance of inclusive mediation processes · The Camp David Accords (1978) demonstrated the power of personal diplomacy and third-party mediation by the US in resolving seemingly intractable disputes between Egypt and Israel · The Good Friday Agreement (1998) brought an end to decades of conflict in Northern Ireland through innovative power-sharing arrangements, facilitated by multi-party mediation · The Aceh Peace Agreement (2005) in Indonesia, mediated by former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, ended a 30-year conflict and saved countless lives · The Comprehensive Peace Agreement (2005) in Sudan, mediated by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), ended Africa's longest-running civil war · The Colombian Peace Agreement (2016), facilitated by Norwegian and Cuban mediation, ended over 50 years of conflict between the government and FARC rebels Through vivid storytelling and expert analysis, "History of Peace" brings to life the dramatic moments when bitter enemies found common ground. From Napoleon and Tsar Alexander's fateful meeting on a raft in the Neman River to modern-day peace negotiations, we will trace an arc of human progress in the vital art of conflict resolution. A prime example is the Treaty of Portsmouth of 1905, which ended the Russo-Japanese War. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt's mediation between Russia and Japan not only brought an end to a costly conflict but also elevated the United States' role in international diplomacy. As Japanese diplomat Jutarō Komura noted, "President Roosevelt's impartial and energetic efforts have made possible what seemed impossible." This treaty demonstrates how skilled mediation can bridge even the widest divides between adversaries. But this book is more than just a chronicle of famous treaties. It's a deep exploration of how mediation and diplomacy have evolved over millennia to become sophisticated tools for conflict resolution. Readers will learn: · The essential ingredients for successful peace negotiations · How mediators bridge seemingly unbridgeable divides · The role of economic incentives in cementing peace · How to structure agreements for long-term stability · Common pitfalls in peace processes and how to avoid them "History of Peace" also highlights the crucial role played by grassroots peacemakers and civil society in nurturing reconciliation from the ground up. Through inspiring stories of ordinary people working for change, it shows how everyone can contribute to building a more peaceful world. With ongoing conflicts from Ukraine to Yemen threatening global stability, the lessons in this book have never been more relevant. Whether you're a student of history, a policymaker, a mediator, or simply someone who cares about creating a better future, "History of Peace" offers invaluable insights into humanity's noblest endeavor. Key features: · Comprehensive overview of peace treaties and conflict resolution from ancient times to the present · In-depth case studies of pivotal agreements that shaped world history · Analysis of evolving mediation techniques and diplomatic strategies · Exploration of the economic benefits of peace and post-conflict reconstruction · Inspiring stories of grassroots peacebuilders making a difference · Lessons for addressing contemporary conflicts and global challenges This book is priced at an affordable price point to enable widest availability. If this collection of inspiring stories how to make Swords into Plowshares, saves even one life or brings happiness to a single person, it will fill me also with hope and happiness, knowing I've made a difference as the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pilar Hogan Closkey and John Hogan have brought together the annual Archbishop Oscar Romero Lectures (2001-2007) to consider the life and death of Archbishop Romero and the daily struggles of the poor in our world, especially in the city of Camden, New Jersey-one of America's poorest cities. Romero's 'dangerous memory' provides the background, while urban poverty and the option for the poor are the foreground. Romero's commitment to the poor compels us to look at ourselves, and the authors of each chapter remind us of Romero's dangerous memory and his undying hope in the promised future. Taken as a whole, the book reminds us of the tough questions behind the real meaning of the 'option for the poor.' Can we as a faith community and institution move beyond high-sounding slogans and really opt for the poor? What are the costs? What are the risks? Especially in these difficult times of war, terrorism, and scandal, can we in the Church rebuild trust and be a sign of a future of justice and peace announced by Jesus?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An “outstanding new intellectual biography of John Maynard Keynes [that moves] swiftly along currents of lucidity and wit” (The New York Times), illuminating the world of the influential economist and his transformative ideas “A timely, lucid and compelling portrait of a man whose enduring relevance is always heightened when crisis strikes.”—The Wall Street Journal WINNER: The Arthur Ross Book Award Gold Medal • The Hillman Prize for Book Journalism FINALIST: The National Book Critics Circle Award • The Sabew Best in Business Book Award NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY PUBLISHERS WEEKLY AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times • The Economist • Bloomberg • Mother Jones At the dawn of World War I, a young academic named John Maynard Keynes hastily folded his long legs into the sidecar of his brother-in-law’s motorcycle for an odd, frantic journey that would change the course of history. Swept away from his placid home at Cambridge University by the currents of the conflict, Keynes found himself thrust into the halls of European treasuries to arrange emergency loans and packed off to America to negotiate the terms of economic combat. The terror and anxiety unleashed by the war would transform him from a comfortable obscurity into the most influential and controversial intellectual of his day—a man whose ideas still retain the power to shock in our own time. Keynes was not only an economist but the preeminent anti-authoritarian thinker of the twentieth century, one who devoted his life to the belief that art and ideas could conquer war and deprivation. As a moral philosopher, political theorist, and statesman, Keynes led an extraordinary life that took him from intimate turn-of-the-century parties in London’s riotous Bloomsbury art scene to the fevered negotiations in Paris that shaped the Treaty of Versailles, from stock market crashes on two continents to diplomatic breakthroughs in the mountains of New Hampshire to wartime ballet openings at London’s extravagant Covent Garden. Along the way, Keynes reinvented Enlightenment liberalism to meet the harrowing crises of the twentieth century. In the United States, his ideas became the foundation of a burgeoning economics profession, but they also became a flash point in the broader political struggle of the Cold War, as Keynesian acolytes faced off against conservatives in an intellectual battle for the future of the country—and the world. Though many Keynesian ideas survived the struggle, much of the project to which he devoted his life was lost. In this riveting biography, veteran journalist Zachary D. Carter unearths the lost legacy of one of history’s most fascinating minds. The Price of Peace revives a forgotten set of ideas about democracy, money, and the good life with transformative implications for today’s debates over inequality and the power politics that shape the global order.
