Rezensionen

"This groundbreaking collection of essays is more than simply a 'handbook.' These essays are models of rigor and clarity, presenting a sophisticated defense of pacifist thought while offering a compelling vision of a peaceful and just world. Taken together, these essays demonstrate that pacifism is more than a noble and idealist dream, more than an ethics of war, but a practical and conceptually well-grounded basis for a philosophy of life."

--Charles Brown, Emporia State University

"To my knowledge, The Routledge Handbook of Pacifism and Nonviolence is a more ambitious and comprehensive book than any other collection of writings on pacifism and nonviolence ever published. Written by scholars and activists with knowledge and passion, and carefully edited by Andrew Fiala, this book will be our standard reference on pacifism and nonviolence for decades to come."

--Predrag Cicovacki, College of the Holy Cross

"This Handbook brings together invaluable and wide-ranging perspectives on pacifism and nonviolence, thereby enabling further creative interaction and useful integration of those perspectives. It is really impossible to think how it could be better."

--James P. Sterba, University of Notre Dame
