Every War Has Two Losers: William Stafford on Peace and War
ISBN: 9781571312730 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Born the year World War I began, acclaimed poet William Stafford (1914-1993) spent World War II in a camp for conscientious objectors. Throughout a century of conflict he remained convinced that wars simply don't work. In his writings, Stafford showed it is possible--and crucial--to think independently when fanatics act, and to speak for reconciliation when nations take sides. He believed it was a failure of imagination to only see two options: to fight or to run away. This book gathers the evidence of a lifetime's commitment to nonviolence, including an account of Stafford's near-hanging...

Security, Reconstruction, and Reconciliation : When the Wars End
ISBN: 9781844721177 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Countries emerging from conflict will almost always need to depend upon the international community to varying degrees for resources (financial, technical, and human), in order to conduct effective reconciliation, institution building and...
