Varieties of pacifism

About this book

"The authors have designed Pacifism in the Twentieth Century as a survey for the college student and adult reader. The book is centered on an analysis of the various movements advocating personal nonparticipation in war of any kind with an endeavor to find nonviolent means of resolving conflict. Pacifist ideals, whether derived from religious or humanist motives, range from strict vegetarianism to forms of war resistance, which do not all involve a ban on taking human life under any circumstances."--BOOK JACKET.
