William Stafford on Peace and War
By
William Stafford
This book gathers the evidence of a lifetime’s commitment to nonviolence. Born the year World War I began, the author spent World War II in a camp for conscientious objectors. His writings show that it is possible—and crucial—to think independently when fanatics act, and to speak for reconciliation when nations take sides.
