Book excerpt: Excerpt from Obstacles and Objections to the Cause of Permanent and Universal Peace Considered But there are other excuses which one sometimes makes to his con science, such as, I am a Peace man, and believe all wars unchristian, but we must wait God's time. The millennium will surely come, and God wants not the aid of man 'to bring it about. Another says, Preach the gospel. There is no need of any voluntary association on the subject: when all men become Christians, wars will cease, and not before. And he wisely concludes that Christians must continue to kill one another until all men become Christians! There are many other objections to the cause of Peace of a like nature with those above specified, and there are also many obstacles to our cause some above water, and apparent to all; others more latent, but not less dangerous; and I purpose, in a series of essays, to take up the obstacles and objections which lie in the way of the cause of Peace; and-shall take the obstacles first, because they are, in fact, the foundation of the objections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problems of Peace: A Study of the Essential Needs of Massachusetts During the Reconstruction Period Intricate and important as were the problems of war preparation and participation, it is likely that in the end they may seem simple compared to the difficulties which face us in its readjustment to normal peace conditions. The obstacles in the way of a military victory have been overcome because of the fact that there were no differences of opinion as to the main object to be attained. Individual and party theories as to economic and administrative policies have been subordinated for the successful accomplishment of the end in view. The world will never again, return to where it was four years ago. What is called conservative Opinion must modify its aims to include the best part of what is called radical policy. On the other hand, radicalism, as shown by its inevitable results when put in actual practice, as to-day in Russia, where the radicals have taken the property of the nation without law, is an even greater menace than the militarism now justly defeated in this great war. It is a time for tolerance, of getting together, and in the compromise of opinion to work out a reasonable and saving program. The United States, which gave real' democracy to the world, has during the last fourteen decades, shown that under it, real progress never before witnessed in the history of the world was possible. During the war the American people generally refused to give serious consideration to reconstruction problems because of the fear that this might divert them from the immediate prosecution and winning of the war, and as a result we are as unprepared for peace as we were for war. The purpose of this pamphlet is to direct attention not solely to the larger questions of reconstruction now being considered the world over, but especially to the not less important because purely local problems which are necessary to understand and to remedy that Massachusetts may hold its own in after the war competition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A long time ago in China, there existed three Books of Peace that proved so threatening to the reigning powers that they had them burned. Many years later Maxine Hong Kingston wrote a Fourth Book of Peace, but it too was burned--in the catastrophic Berkeley-Oakland Hills fire of 1991, a fire that coincided with the death of her father. Now in this visionary and redemptive work, Kingston completes her interrupted labor, weaving fiction and memoir into a luminous meditation on war and peace, devastation and renewal.

Initialed guardianship and omniscience have been trivial hardly worth mentioning beside the decent and honourable reviews and critiques written in such a way that their words of praise and of dispraise are both valuable to me. My books have been read. Clearly, by evidence of the things that have been said of them. And I have noticed that these critics who have, most clearly, in reading my books, under stood what I aimed at, were inclined to point out that my weak point seemed to be construction. Reviews that were signed (so that I could have an idea from the critics' names of the scales in which I was weighed), and signed by men I could gain something by listening to, knowing their standards; and reviews, unsigned, that showed (by ia terior evidence) th.

Download or read book Paths to Peace written by Elizabeth A. Stanley and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-28 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paths to Peace begins by developing a theory about the domestic obstacles to making peace and the role played by shifts in states' governing coalitions in overcoming these obstacles. In particular, it explains how the longer the war, the harder it is to end, because domestic obstacles to peace become institutionalized over time. Next, it tests this theory with a mixed methods approach—through historical case studies and quantitative statistical analysis. Finally, it applies the theory to an in-depth analysis of the ending of the Korean War. By analyzing the domestic politics of the war's major combatants—the Soviet Union, the United States, China, and North and South Korea—it explains why the final armistice terms accepted in July 1953 were little different from those proposed at the start of negotiations in July 1951, some 294,000 additional battle-deaths later.
Download or read book Thirteen Days in September written by Lawrence Wright and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW’ S 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR One of the Best Books of the Year: The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, NPR, Entertainment Weekly, The Economist, The Daily Beast, St. Louis Post-Dispatch In September 1978, three world leaders—Menachem Begin of Israel, Anwar Sadat of Egypt, and U.S. president Jimmy Carter—met at Camp David to broker a peace agreement between the two Middle East nations. During the thirteen-day conference, Begin and Sadat got into screaming matches and had to be physically separated; both attempted to walk away multiple times. Yet, by the end, a treaty had been forged—one that has quietly stood for more than three decades, proving that peace in the Middle East is possible. Wright combines politics, scripture, and the participants’ personal histories into a compelling narrative of the fragile peace process. Begin was an Orthodox Jew whose parents had perished in the Holocaust; Sadat was a pious Muslim inspired since boyhood by stories of martyrdom; Carter, who knew the Bible by heart, was driven by his faith to pursue a treaty, even as his advisers warned him of the political cost. Wright reveals an extraordinary moment of lifelong enemies working together—and the profound difficulties inherent in the process. Thirteen Days in September is a timely revisiting of this diplomatic triumph and an inside look at how peace is made.
Download or read book Peace First written by Uri Savir and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2008-09-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uri Savir has an ambitious, indispensable goal: to bring peacemaking into the 21st century. “Little in today’s world,” writes Savir, “is more progressive than modern warfare. Yet little is more archaic than peacemaking.” We remain trapped in a centuries-old mindset, with leaders bargaining warily for concessions and signing treaties that collapse because no one on the ground has any real stake in them. Drawing on his experiences negotiating the Oslo Peace Accords as well as on trenchant examples from Ethiopia, Eritrea, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Northern Ireland, and the former Yugoslavia, Savir argues that an enduring peace is built from the bottom up, not from the top down. He describes a new model based on establishing and nurturing mutually beneficial forms of cooperation beginning on the local level, city-to-city and organization-to-organization. This process of “glocalization”—involving local actors in global issues—is the first step toward constructing a peace ecology: a comprehensive transnational culture dedicated to breaking down the psychological and social barriers between former enemies. These efforts are furthered through the establishment of joint ventures that give each side a tangible stake in maintaining peace. Diplomacy still has a role, but it must reject maneuvering for gain and instead emphasize the advantages both sides will gain with the cultivation of lasting peace. Throughout, Savir provides concrete examples of how these concepts have been put into practice. And he ends with a detailed vision of how this model could bring an enduring peace in one of the world’s most war-torn areas: the Mediterranean Basin. Peace First offers a pragmatic yet revolutionary new approach that promises to end our most intractable conflicts.
