Opis

Covering all significant peace associations and campaigns, this work is the first comprehensive and authoritative study of Great Britain's efforts to not merely prevent war but to abolish it. It is based on an extensive use of archival as well as printed sources, making it relevant both to historians of nineteenth and twentieth century British politics and to specialists in international relations interested in the anti-realist tradition.

Recenzje

Ceadel's careful sifting of the various strands of religious, political, and humanitarian conviction and witness during the inter-war period makes for especially compelling reading. His assessments of the social and political impact of both organisations and individuals are precise and wholly convincing. There is much crucial insight here for contemporary peace activists.
