Throughout most of the 20th century, from World War I until his death
in 1993, America poet and pacifist William Stafford remained
convinced that wars dont work. In his poetry and other writing, he
showed that it is crucial to think independently when fanatics act
and to speak for reconciliation when nations take sides. This
inspiring volume collects the antiwar writings of this lifelong
advocate for peace: journal excerpts, pacifist poems, interviews, and
an account of his own near-hanging at the hands of American patriots.
In thought-provoking passages sure to strike a chord today, he
assesses U.S. political habits and suggests that there are always
alternative approaches to aggression. This powerful book about
nonviolence includes never-before-published excerpts from William
Stafford's daily journal from 1951 to 1991.
