Book Description:

Collections of important speeches tend to focus on nationalistic "flashpoints" - violent interventions, diplomatic crises, and wars - that shape a nation's identity. Words about war vastly outweigh words about peace. In Landmark Speeches in US Pacifism, Susan Schultz Huxman addresses that imbalance by highlighting the rhetoric of peace movements, nonviolent resistance, and anti-war discourse.
